From Susan Langle...
As we finish our work with diligence, grace and exceedingly large
amounts of coffee we continue to pray. This one rings in my ears, the
opening prayers from the Integrity Eucharist on Monday night:
Rejoice now, Mother Church, with all creation,
For God has sent the Holy Spirit into our hearts
to call us out of darkness into light;
the Holy Spirit, who moved over the waters
in the darkness of eternal night before the Creation,
comes with fire to illuminate our darkness;
the Holy Spirit, who spoke through the prophets
to condemn injustice and give hope to the oppressed,
comes with fire to purge our world;
the Holy Spirit, who descended at the baptism of Jesus
to proclaim him God’s anointed one,
comes with fire to reveal God’s love;
the Holy Spirit, who came upon the apostles at Pentecost
to send them out into all the world and to proclaim the gospel to
all people, comes with fire to renew and inspire the church.
Come, O Holy Spirit, and fill us.
