*Opening Prayer
O God, grant us a sense of your timing. In this season of short days and
long nights, of grey and white and cold, teach us the lessons of
beginnings; that such waitings and endings may be the starting place, a
planting of seeds which bring to birth what is ready to be born
something right and just and different, a new song, a deeper relationship,
a fuller love in the fullness of your time, O God, grant us the sense of
your timing.
