Saturday Vigils

Call to Prayer
O God, Open my eyes.
And I shall see your wonder.

All praise to The Creator, to the Word Incarnate, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Amen.

Psalm 94
Come, let us cry out with joy to Yahweh, acclaim the rock of our salvation.

In God’s power are the depths of the earth, the peaks of the mountains are God’s; Come, let us bow low and do reverence; kneel before Yahweh who made us!

Hebrew Bible Reading

Litany
O God, your light heralds the beginning of a new day. In thanksgiving for your faithfulness and constancy, we bring these prayers before you and say, O God, keep us in your love.

Touch our calloused hearts, so that we treat the unloved in our midst as persons for whom your Love was made Incarnate. O God, keep us in your love.

In your love, O God, redeem and remake families broken apart by human selfishness. O God, keep us in your love.

Look to those who through long habit find forgiveness hard to accept; break their bondage and set them free. O God, keep us in your love.

Give peace to the world and fulfillment to all its dead and dying. O God, keep us in your love.

Give us faith in your power and confidence in your great love. O God, keep us in your love.

Help us bear the darkness of our world and patiently transform it into light. O God, keep us in your love.

Divine Prayer
Dear Creator
who dwells in The All,
holy is your name.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
in my heart as in your heaven's flames.
Help me sustain, as you sustain me.
Help me forgive, as you forgive me.
And let me fall not into darkness,
but follow your Light.
The Light of your Love,
the Light of your Grace,
the Light of your Wisdom,
now and forever.
Amen.

Intercessional Prayer
