Opening Invocation
(from 1 Kings 19:
8-15)
O
God, you come to us not in the chaos of the whirlwind,
not
in the roar of the earthquake, not in the crackling heat of the fire,
but
in the sound of sheer silence.
Quiet
our minds, bring peace to our hearts and stillness to our bodies
that
we might meet you in that silence.
Help
us to listen for your still, small voice.
Give
us the courage to go wherever you lead us,
trusting
that you will prepare the way.
We
pray this in the name of our Companion on the journey,
Jesus
the Christ.
