Rewilding our Souls

Summer Solstice Prayer

6/19/2021

0 Comments

 
Wild, Incarnate Christ, 
Light of Life -
the sun has reached its zenith
and we can feel the heat in our bodies.  
As we stand on the cusp
of this sweltering season
we give thanks and praise for
the gifts of summer - 
vibrancy and radiance,
fruitfulness and playfulness,
embodiment and freedom.
Open us to the ways you are
manifest in creation,
Your presence alive and tangible
so that we may know you 
to be here among us
not only through head and heart,
but also through our bodies.
Like plants stretching toward the sun,
may we reach for you, 
as the Source of all being.
Enliven us and inspire us
as children of the light
to grow in maturity, 
passion, and fullness.
Amen.

Entangled with a billion others

6/6/2021

Creator of all,
Christ who walks with us,
Spirit enlivening us:
As we move more deeply
into relationship with you
and with the entirety of 
the created world,
open our hearts to
new ways of being and 
our minds to greater 
understanding of
our place in the world.
Transform any notions of
self-centredness into 
community-mindedness,
and expand our sense 
of community to include
all creation.
​

May we fall in love with 
our more-than-human 
neighbours and understand
that our needs and wellbeing
are intertwined with theirs, 
our very flesh and breath
entangled with a billion others.
Move us to see your 
presence and wisdom
revealed in the intricacy 
of everything around us.
Fill us with compassion 
to live lives that 
extend benevolence
to all life.
Amen.
