Here’s
an opening prayer I wrote for World Food Day (October 16). It draws on
scripture texts from Proper 24C.
Opening Prayer
God
of love and justice,
we
gather together to worship you:
to
offer our thanks and praise
and
to proclaim your goodness and mercy.
Meet
us here.
Breathe
your Word into our souls;
engrave
your covenant of love upon our hearts.
Teach
us faithfulness and compassion
so
that our lives may reflect
your
love and justice to the world.
Amen.
