God
of Life, when the world falls apart,
we
sometimes seek to run away, to go back to a safe place.
God
of Hope, when we make these journeys of despair,
we
turn and find a stranger walking beside us.
God
of Peace, you ask us to share our fears and hopes, our dreams and
anxieties.
And
then you push us to see the world in a new way.
God
of Easter, you move within us, opening our hearts,
so
that they would burn as we talk about questions of meaning.
God
of Resurrection, you invite us to the table,
where
our eyes are opened,
where
understanding dawns,
where
we see you present
and
we understand the reality that Life Wins.
In
the name of the Risen Christ,
we
pray, as we strive to live in his Way. Amen
