Opening Prayer
God be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
We call upon the creatures of the fields, the forests, and the
seas, our brothers and sisters the wolves and deer, the eagle
and dove, the great whales and the dolphin and we ask them
to:
Teach us, and show us the way.
And, we call upon all that we hold most sacred, the presence
and power of the Great Spirit of love and truth which flows
through all the universe to be with us to:
Teach us, and show us the way.
Finally, we also pray for the concerns on our hearts this day,
named in this silence Loving God, look with compassion
upon us and all who turn to you for help. Give us strength,
courage and hope now and in the days to come.
Amen.
