May our fears and anxieties be transfigured with  your good hope,

As we live in you, God of the living

May our consciousness reflect your enlightenment,

As we live in you, God of the living

May we search for those qualities in others that we wish for ourselves

As we live in you, God of the living

Cultivate in us a reverence for all that you have created,

As we live in you, God of the living

When we fall  into lesser views of you, or of life itself, let your Holy Spirit refresh us,

As we live in you, God of the living

Let us find new ways to care for all peoples of our planet: Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and seeker,

As we live in you, God of the living

Strengthen all on our parish prayer list [read list],

As we live in you, God of the living

Let us give what we can to maintain and strengthen  our parish church,

As we live in you, God of the living

Celebrant: Loving Creator, fill us with your living love.    We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
