Jesus,
Take us all,
 each and every one.
Be hope in our despair.
Invite us all out of darkness.

Let us see you, believe in you.

Bind us all to yourself
Love us forever,
 through all
eternity.

Thank you
for doing the will
of the one who sent you.

Gratias.

At
peace
In God’s land
the souls of the just
“dart about as sparks through
 stubble.”

Lord,
Let them abide with you in love
and understand all truth.
And let us too
 shine

like sparks in the stubble
of this world.

• Stubble: the cut stocks of grain plants left sticking out of
the ground after the grain is harvested.

God,
you sent the Holy Spirit.
You poured yourself
into our hearts.

Before,
we were ordinary dwellings;
now we are temples sheltering divinity.

Because Jesus walked
on our streets,
on our earth,
all is holy
now.

Christ,
let us boast
of the Father’s love.
