Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I offer you a few more prayers from Celtic Scholar, writer, theologian, J. Philip Newell:
Opening Prayer and Thanksgiving
You are the love
of each living creature O God
You are the warmth
of the rising sun
You are the whiteness
of the moon at night
You are the life
of the growing earth
You are the strength
of the waves of the sea.
Speak to me this night O God
Speak to me your truth.
Dwell with me this night O God
Dwell with me in love.
Prayer for the Life of the World
May our enemy become our friend, O God,
that we may share earth’s goodness.
May our enemy become our friend, O God,
that our children may meet and marry.
May our enemy become our friend, O God,
that we may remember our shared birth in you.
May we grow in grace
may we grow in gratitude
may we grow in wisdom
that our enemy may become our friend.
