Father God, creator of every living thing. You know us intimately and have designed us brilliantly. Cast your protecting hand over us, that we might live in peace.
God the Son, our Savior who walked along the dusty paths we now tred. You have told us stories that we might learn how to be, and you died that we might live. Enfold us in your arms that we might live in love.
Spirit God, ever present among us, within us, breathe your life anew. Inspire us, your people, as apostles of the Kingdom. Direct us in your wisdom that we might share in your joy.
Spirit, Son Father, may we be one as you are one.
Son, Father, Spirit may we be diverse as you are diverse.
Son, Spirit, Father, may we be vibrant as you are vibrant.
Father, Spirit, Son, make us love as you are love.
Amen.
