A prayer for life in all its fullness
Let us praise God,
who summons us to live as people of hope,
who lifts us when our hearts are weary,
and raises our eyes, restoring our vision,
to see a new heaven, a new earth,
which breaks in where we least expect it;
inviting us, beyond imagining,
to involvement in making real God’s purposes of justice, righteousness and peace.
Let us praise God,
who leads us beyond death, to life in all its fullness,
not for our sakes, but for the sake of others;
that by God’s Spirit we live with courage, compassion and commitment;
so we might be agents of change, sharing the gospel of truth and love,
as we join with God’s work in the world.
Ruth Richey, deacon, South West Peninsula District
A prayer for transformation - Alternative Prayer
By your beauty, O Lord, transform our poverty of soul. By your love tame the waywardness of our passions. By your grace renew the yearnings of our heart.
Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510)
