A Prayer for Sunday, September 27, 2015

Super Moon Eclipse


O God,

We praise you for the opportunity
to witness a rare wonder tonight:

the Super Moon Total Eclipse.

We praise you for the
wonders of your creation.

We praise you for the science
that makes it possible for us
to know this event is coming
and to look forward to it.

Thank you for allowing us to
move beyond the mindset of
primitives for whom such events
likely inspired panic and terror.

Thank you for allowing us to move
beyond the mindset of past well-meaning
but misguided Christian thinkers who saw
such events as harbingers of the apocalypse.

Give us grace tonight to sit
back and be amazed at the
wonder of your creation.

We praise you for painting
such a beautiful picture …

Amen.
