is a prayer of illumination, traditionally spoken before the reading and preaching of the
Word. It comes from the Worship@North website.
Prayer of Illumination
(inspired by Mark 1:21-28)
Compassionate
God,
all
creation delights in your radiant presence of your Word.
May
the authority of your Spirit
bring
understanding into our confused minds
and
truth into our troubled hearts,
that
we may praise and serve Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
