Prayers for Sunday, February 22

Gathering Prayer

Holy one, like the birds that sing in the darkness before dawn, we sing your praise in anticipation of the light breaking forth from your Holy Word. As sure as the sun rises, your wisdom enlightens our eyes, to see the paradise which Jesus proclaimed as “at hand.” Let your light shine, O Lord! Amen.


Prayer of Dedication

When we contemplate the wideness of your mercy, O Lord, what else can we do but open our hands to others? As we present these gifts, we pray that the light of your glory may be reflected in our good works, that others may see and know that you are the source of light and life, and that together we might praise you with one voice. Amen.
