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 107:23-32
- Those who go down to the sea in ships:
and ply their trade on great waters, - they have seen your works O Lord:
and the wonders you do in the deep. - At your command the stormy wind arose:
and lifted up the waves. - They were carried up to the sky,
and down again to the depths:
their courage melted away in their peril. - They reeled to and fro, and staggered as if drunken:
their seafaring skill was utterly without avail. - Then they cried to you O Lord in their trouble:
and you rescued them from their distress. - You made the storm be still:
and the roaring waves were hushed. - Then they were glad because it was calm:
and so you brought them to the harbour
where they had longed to be. - Let them thank you O Lord for your steadfast love:
for the wonders that you do for us. - Let them extol you in the assembly of the people:
and praise you in the council of elders.
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.
