Today’s Reflection: Morning prayer:

Release us, Lord,

from our attachment

to the fleeting wealth

of status, power, possessions,

and all that anaesthetises us

to the call of your kingdom,

to the cherishing of one another,

to the pursuit of

mutual justice and peace;

that we may live your love,

for all.— Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, UK

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

Keep us always open, Lord,

to hearing your guidance;

attentive to your call,

responsive to your gospel

and ready to follow you

with all that we are,

all that we have,

As we receive your gifts

of love and mercy,

inspire us to share them with all. — Bill Braviner

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

Inspire us Lord,

as your people,

to devote our energies

to both the mission

of your message,

and the mission

of social action

to benefit all.

May your love soar

on these two

wings of mission,

that all may be nourished

in heart and soul,

knowing the peace

you bring. —  Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, U.K.
