Prayer
Merciful God, we gather together as your
Church and we come into one another’s presence and yours in the unity of your
Holy Spirit. At the door we drop our
worldly wisdom and our pretensions of strength to make room for your wisdom
that it may show forth among all peoples.
We leave behind our arrogant self-assurance to embrace your presence and
love. We do all this through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.
