Dear God,
thank you for all that is good,
for our creation and for our humanity,
for the gifts of life and of one another,
for your love which is unbounded and eternal.
for the food before us,
the family and friends beside us
and the love between us.
Amen.
Psalm 146
- Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul! - I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long. - Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortals, in whom there is no help. - When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
on that very day their plans perish. - Happy are those whose helper is the God of Jacob;
whose hope is in the Lord their God. - who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them;
who keeps a promise for ever. - who defends the cause of the oppressed;
and gives food to the hungry. - The Lord sets free the prisoner, and gives sight to the blind;
the Lord raises up those bowed down,
and loves those who are just. - The Lord cares for the stranger in the land,
and sustains the widows and orphans;
but turns the way of the wicked to ruin. - The Lord shall reign for ever;
your God O Jerusalem shall reign for all generations,
O praise the Lord.
Collect
Eternal Spirit, living God,
in whom we live and move and have our being,
all that we are, have been, and shall be is known to you,
to the very secret of our hearts
and all that rises to trouble us.
Living flame burn into us,
cleansing wind, blow through us,
fountain of water, well up within us,
that we may love and praise in deed and in truth.
Amen.
