Wild Wind of the Spirit,
on this Pentecost day we revel in the ways your presences lives and moves among us and through us - inspiring us, challenging us, unsettling us. May we be open to the winds of change, welcoming and bending to new ways of being. May we embrace and celebrate the lively and generative energy of this day, empowering us to be agents of transformation in our spheres of influence, voices for the voiceless, and visionaries for a new future. Amen. - Wendy Janzen

God of Spring,
of roots and growth, of vibrancy and veriditas: Bless this time of planting. As we dig our fingers into rich soil, wiggling and delighting in the damp warm, earth, we remember that we are earthlings. Bless our connection with the the land, with the water that supports all life, with these seeds we bury beneath the surface trusting that they will germinate and grow and nourish our bodies. Bless the fertility of the earth, the micronutrients, the compost, the earthworms, and the pollinators. Bless our intentions to be good gardeners: may we give and receive, work and wait, with humility. And bless these seeds: help us to hold them with reverence and to see in them the promise of sustenance and life. Amen. - Wendy Janzen Mothering God,
Giver of life, who hovered over the deep at the beginning of time, who soars like an eagle, who gathers her brood under her wings, who descended from heaven as a dove: Open our eyes to see you today. Open our ears to hear your song. Open our spirits to sense your presence here in this place. Open our minds to new insights, and open our hearts to a deeper connection with you and with all the feathered ones you see and love. Amen. - Wendy Janzen Sometimes I see the world in poetry...
words shimmering like light just behind or within everything I see. But neither word nor image do justice to the beauty, the wonder, the deeper meaning. To simply witness is enough. To feel in my bones something more is going on. To trust this sacred moment and say thank you. - Wendy Janzen |
