We, your people, join together to sing your praises, O Yahweh. Thank you for delivering us from trouble when we call out to you. Thank you for answering us. Thank you for feeding us the finest food and satisfying our thirst with Life-giving Water.

Divine Family, thank you we share and participate in your heavenly calling. Thank you, Jesus, son of God, for being faithful to God and to us. We look to you with open hearts and minds so we can learn and grow in our relationship with you and be in partnership with you.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest and reflect on the prayers of the past week.

Lectionary Readings for Today:
1 Samuel 15:32-34
Psalm 23:1-6
John 1:1-9

Loving Yahweh, thank you for providing for our daily needs. Thank you for listening to us, even when we are complaining against you. Thank you for teaching us to be in a relationship with you and each other. May we never forget your loving presence and blessings. May we look to you.

The glow of Grandmother Moon in the night watches reveals the vastness of this land. The fields are waking, the birds are returning. The trees will soon begin to sing as you call all of us to return to you. All our relations journey together from across this land in the ceremony of new life.

Thank you, loving God, for our ancestors and the community whose prayers for us lead us to joyous victory. Thank you for the mentors, community, leaders, and water-carriers who teach us to honour you. Thank you, Life-Giving Spirit, for giving us power, love, and self-discipline so we can live a life of faith and joy.
