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. - Wendy Janzen

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. - Wendy Janzen |
