Rewilding our Souls

Summer Solstice Prayer

6/19/2021

2 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.

​- Wendy Janzen
