Keeper of Our Souls,
we rest within your unchanging lovingkindness
and seek to center ourselves in your wisdom.
We lift our grateful eyes toward your countenance,
and give you thanks and honor.
May we trust in all your promises, O God,
and recover the open-heartedness
which you impacted in us from our birth.
May we throw off the contempt
that corrupts our hearts
and instead root our faith
in the fertile ground of your tenderness and mercy,
O Eternal Wisdom.
Blessed Jesus,
may we order our lives
in imitation of your healing and reconciling ways.
Like little children,
may we run toward love,
and trust in its power
against the testimony of a world
that sells fear and isolation.
May we see
in a handful of earth
your provision for us
and your call to stewardship
in service to creation.
Spirit of Life,
may we serve you in integrity and generosity,
and testify with our lives
to the liberality of your grace
as we ask your peace
to rest upon these beloved children.
Amen.
