Here’s a litany for Reformation Day (October 30, 2011) written by Katherine Hawker.
Litany of Confession and Promise
Our youth offer prophesy of challenge and judgement,
We nod politely with clenched teeth and closed eyes.
Invited to dream dreams,
We prefer the familiarity of the past.
Winds of vision swirl around us,
We close the windows and bolt the doors.
Even on us,
Even here,
The Spirit will pour forth.
Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
