Thursday, November 21, 2013 — Morning Prayer

From Isaiah 65:
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
But the serpent –its food shall be dust!
They shall not hurt or destroy
On all my holy mountain.

Prayer

Holy God
you alone
can make all things new;
send your Holy Spirit
upon us;
give us new hearts to feel,
new ears to hear,
new eyes to see
the unity of
all creatures
In Christ;
and to proclaim
all living beings
as fellow creatures
With us in your
wonderful creation.
Amen.

Andrew Linsey, in Earth Gospel by Sam Hamilton-Poore
