We arise today
in the Eternal Flow of Mercy
who was here when the land began to breathe,
when the first tribes began to roam,
and when the colonists came to settle.
We arise today
in the Eternal Flow of Wisdom
who is dimly perceived in the stones,
the stories and the studies of all our peoples.
We arise today
in the Eternal Flow of Life
who seeps through land and limb and love.
Amen.

@heyxross Love God. Love people. U R Stellar. Me am Daily Prayer Tweet
#Holy Spirit, as the water in the stream makes its journey to the sea, so may we flow with You until our lives become complete.
Holy Flame, alighting on each person in the shape of their soul, burn out what is not true, and let the glory shine through.
Divine breeze, cooling and quiet, gentle our hearts until we catch your still, small voice.
Divine Wind, rushing and mighty, even if you sweep me off my feet, now I will trust you and no longer cling to set ways.
#HolySpirit tongue of flame
With love and wisdom burning bright
Alight on me before it's night.
Spirit blazing, tongue of flame
With love and wisdom burning bright
Alight on me before it's night.
Spirit leaping, fount of life
Whose timeless source is never dry
Flow into me ‘ere down I lie
Spirit of God, fire us up with the boldness of noble deeds.
God of sea and land, impart to us, as you did to St. Brendan, an adventurous spirit as pioneers and pilgrims of the faith of Christ.
