A Prayer for Sunday, June 1, 2014

Seventh Sunday of Easter

O God,

We praise you
that your Son is
at your right hand,
where he rules
the Universe
and
sits poised to
bring all things
to their maturity.

We praise you
that your Son is
in our hearts,
where he rules
our lives
and
directs us in
moving toward
our maturity.

We praise you
that your Son is
over the Church,
where he rules
his Body
and
leads us to
grow toward
our maturity.

Help us
to acknowledge,
to celebrate,
and
to submit to
his Lordship
so that we might
grow and change
as he would have us
to grow and change.

Amen.
