Prayer for First Week of Lent

FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT

Maker...

Make of us, still,
creatures of awe,
creatures who know,
creatures who live,
in connection.

Make in us, still,
the Word-made-flesh,
the water-signed call,
the will to begin again,
in connection.

Make over us, still,
rainbows announcing hope,
rainbows embracing all,
rainbows calling for conscience,
in connection.

Maker...
