Dia annseo isteach!
God to all here!
Greetings all,
This past week we mentioned about the season of rest and restoration. In Newell's 'Celtic Benediction', Tuesday Night Prayers of Thanksgiving he speaks of the need for replenishment. Take a moment to think on how God has prepared your for each day and calls you aside to just sit with Him awhile.
Scripture and Meditation
'The earth is full of your goodness, O God.' Psalm 33:5
'Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth
and dies, it remains just a single grain;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit.' John 12:24
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
For earth's cycles and seasons
for the rising of spring and the growing summer
for autumn's fullness and the hidden depths of winter
thanks be to you, O Christ.
For the life force in seeds buried in the ground
that shoot green and bear fruit and fall to the earth
thanks be to you.
Let me learn from the earth's cycles of birthing
the times and seasons of dying.
Let me learn of you in the soil of my soul, O Christ,
and your journey through death to birth.
Let me learn of you in my soul this night
and the journey of letting go.
Recall the events of the day and pray for the life of the world.
