Here’s an opening prayer of
invocation for the fifth Sunday of Easter (Year C). It was written by Rev. Mary Nelson Abbott.
Unison Prayer of
Invocation
(inspired by Revelation
21: 1-6)
Speak to
us, Giver of Life, and make us new.
We thirst
for the waters of eternal life,
we yearn
to know ourselves as Resurrection People.
Send your
Holy Spirit upon us this day,
and
create in us your new heaven and new earth.
Speak to
us words of comfort and hope,
words of
challenge and courage.
Come:
move among us, we pray.
