1999 TRI-COMMUNITY RETREAT PRAYER

  O!  God of Conversion!  Listen to our pleading for rebirth!  

Daniel in the lions den. Rubens. ca.1615. Click to enlarge.

  Help us to be the people who will carry Your Light into the new millennium.

Send Angels of Courage, Lord, to accompany us as we cross 2000’s threshold;

letting go of prejudices and fears.

Rescue us from personal prisons, tombs, and closets; to find freedom in You,

as servants rather than slaves.

Lead us to a place of prayer where all will be comfortable,

where no one need be anonymous, and unconditional love

is way of life.

For those who fear the world getting worse, let us be their assurance

that we are getting better; giving hope to parents of a safe place

in which to raise all children.

Change us so we will comfort and cradle,

nourish and love;

leaving no one forgotten.

Help us to walk in each other’s shoes.

Let future generations receive the gift of us changing the world

by turning our hearts to You, God.

Come now, Lord of Love, with robes of evangelization!

Wrap us in garments of compromise, forgiveness, and tolerance.

Cover us with cooperation, respect, and patience.

Clothe us in holiness, humility, and trust.

Come, Lord, walk with us, dressed in our new robes,

each carrying Your Light;

walking together

as One.

Amen.
