O Holy One of Blessing
You call us into mission
in a multitude of ways.
Some of us travel around the earth,
some of us tend Your gardens
and Your vineyards
nearer home.
Be with us all
as we struggle to the ministry
of your making,
and may we always stay in touch
with the power You place within us
and the peace which Your word proclaims.
May we be there for one another,
and take the time to celebrate time
even as it celebrates us
glory and praise to You, Shaddai,
now and forever.
Amen.
–Miriam Therese Winter, WomanWord: A Feminist Lectionary and Psalter, p. 226
