Sacred One,
In the silence, release all that separates us from you.
[time of silence]
You are the God of us,
and the God of them.
You are the God who connects us.
You are the God who loves,
and the God who expects.
You are the God who connects both.
You are the creator,
the redeemer,
and the sustainer.
You are the worthy one,
who knows our insides,
our outsides,
our motives, and our fears.
You are the God who connects in and out.
We are your beloved people,
they are your beloved people.
We are the recipients of love,
and the ones expected to do and be.
You are the God who connects.
You are the God of transforming love,
a love that turns us into synapses,
that spark an earthly revolution,
in which your priorities become our
priorities.
You are the God who connects us to
the orphan,
the widow,
the immigrant,
the oppressed,
the imprisoned,
the sick,
and those who are poor.
You are our God,
we reach out to you.
Touch us,
connect us,
and grow us,
into your living expectations.
May all who meet us,
know you are the God in whom we trust,
because we’ve become your dream for us.
Amen.
