Prayer
of Invocation
(inspired by 2
Corinthians 1: 7-9)
Wonderful
God,
We
gather today to celebrate your presence
in
the lives of faithful people.
Send
your Spirit to meet us here
and
guide us into your depths
that
we may begin to glimpse your grace:
what
eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor
the human heart conceived--
all
you have prepared for those who love you.
We
pray this in the name of Jesus,
your
Mystery, your Wisdom, your Glory.
