Prayer for the Day
A prayer for those who mourn
Creator God,
risen Christ,
life-giving Spirit,
You weep with those who weep,
you comfort those who mourn,
you bring beauty from the ashes,
you bring life from death,
your presence brings peace and joy.
For those who mourn and grieve and
need hope,
may they know your invitation to join
with you in the dance of life. Amen.
