THE COMMUNITY AT PRAYER (In Unison)Loving God,

your love is life-changing,but there are times when we don’t want to change.

Your love is begging to be proclaimed throughout the world,but it’s easier to just keep quiet.

Your love challenges usto love all our sisters and brothers around the globe,but it just seems too difficult.

Your love invites us to live in you completely,but it’s so easy to turn our backs on you.

Great God of Love,open our hearts and guide our actions,restore and renew us.

Prune away the unproductive woodand lead us back into new growthin the light of your love. Amen.
