Opening Prayer
(inspired by John 20:
19-31)
Holy
One,
On
this Eastertide morning, we come to you,
singing
alleluias, celebrating new life all around us,
not
quite believing it all, but going along with it, just the same.
We
celebrate the doubters and questioners among us,
who
simply keep our faith real,
who
demand that we live our believing
into
faith that works towards justice and peace,
and
making sure that the hungry are nourished and loved.
We
celebrate the saints among us,
whose
courageous faith
flies
without a safety net,
reminding
us that true discipleship is risky and radical
in
the face of a world held hostage by greed, love of power, and denial.
We
are your Easter people, Holy One.
Doubters,
saints, sinners, questioners, spiritual and religious,
who
skip, run, and stumble on the journey.
We
pray that whoever we are this journey,
that
you might open our ears and eyes
to
your call,
to
be Your love,
where
ever we are.
In
the name of Christ we pray,
Amen.
