Litany of Invocation

Come, Spirit of God.

That we may walk the ancient paths of wisdom,
honouring those who have gone before us,
that we may gather at one table,
sharing the gifts of the earth and the labour of our hands,
that we may listen deeply to one another,
across languages, lands, and generations,

Unite us, O Christ.

Across the rivers and mountains that divide us,
across borders drawn by history,
across the wounds of war, the scars of colonisation,
and the struggles of migration,
across temples, churches, and house gatherings,
in whispered prayers and joyful songs,

Gather us as one people.

O God, as the bamboo bends but does not break,
teach us humility and strength,
O God, as the rivers meet the ocean,
may our many streams of faith flow into one,
O God, as the lotus blooms from the mud,
bring forth beauty from our brokenness,
O God, as the sun rises on every land,
may your light guide us to unity,

Make us one in love and service.

For the healing of nations,
for the peace of the world,
for the witness of your Church,
that we may walk as pilgrims together,
for the joy of your kindom,
when all shall feast at your table,

Come, O Spirit, breathe upon us.
Come, O Christ, walk among us.
Come, O God, make us one.
