You sent Jesus among us as your missionary of peace and reconciliation. In Christ you have reconciled us and called us together as the church to be a race of many races, a royal priesthood, a holy nation among many nations, your own people. We give thanks for this land where we dwell as sojourners and resident aliens, a land of abundance and our many freedoms. We give thanks for the many nations, peoples, and cultures that make up your world and from which you have called out citizens of your kingdom. Give us courage to pledge our ultimate allegiance to you, even within a world of competing nationalities and loyalties. Give us your Holy Spirit who transcends all earthly divisions and empowers us to go into the world with the good news of your reign on earth as in heaven. Amen. Praise Hymn- Jubilate Deo omnis terra HWB No. 103 Praying the Labyrinth As one drives onto the parish campus, on the lawn by the chapel is a walking path, called a labyrinth. A labyrinth is a spiritual homing device. The purpose of a labyrinth is the journey – walking to the center and from the center out again. In walking the path, one has time to reflect on whatever is on one’s mind, or whatever sits in one’s heart. Walking is a way of focusing, and walking on a circular path toward a center point is a way of directing one’s mind and heart to the center of being. The journey of walking a labyrinth for people of God is to connect with God along the way – walking, pausing, perhaps sitting for a time – moving inward, then outward. The Faith Formation Committee continues to provide seasonal prayers for people to use while walking the labyrinth. There is a box mounted on a post at the entrance to the labyrinth containing copies of a seasonal prayer for anyone to use while walking the labyrinth. In the box, there also is a book for people to write down any insights or prayers that inspire them while walking the labyrinth.
