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 112
- Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord;
and greatly delight in God's commandments. - Their descendants will be mighty in the land;
the children of the upright will be blessed. - Riches and plenty shall fill their houses;
righteousness shall be theirs for ever. - They are a light in the darkness for the upright;
being gracious compassionate and just. - It goes well with those who are generous in lending;
who conduct their affairs with justice. - For the righteous will never be shaken;
they will be kept in remembrance for ever. - They will not live in fear of bad news;
because with steadfast heart they trust in the Lord. - Their heart is steady they will not fear;
in the end they shall see their enemies downfall. - They give freely to the poor;
their righteousness stand for ever,
and they will hold up their head with honour. - The wicked will be vexed when they see it;
they will grind their teeth and slink away,
for the hopes of the wicked shall come to nothing.
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.
