Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Surely, O God, your welcoming presence is with us, and your Spirit longs to lead us

even to places we may not want to go.

We thank you, Jesus, that you bring us from a mighty long way to your way of life, and hope, and peace.

Even now, Triune God,

breathe, speak, and enflesh your word among us, as we hear it read and preached,

and as we ponder it in our own hearts.

Then, stir us to get up, and do something about it. Amen.
