Hush! Somebody’s callin’ my name …

…

…

…

God whose Voice calls my name, I pray this afternoon

            for all who look for friendship

               and crave the wonder of your presence;

            for each one who seeks comfort

                and needs the support of faith;

            for the city around me

                and the wonder of community.

…

God whose Voice calls my name, I pray this evening

            for friends who need a word of reassurance

               that even in rough times you are never far away;

            for families who could do with a word of love

               to call them back to hope and trust; 

            for souls who crave a word of love

               to speak the serenity on which they can rebuild their lives.

…

God whose Voice calls my name, I pray this morning

     for each person who needs a “wake-up call” to better living

         that they may receive it with grace;

     for our governing bodies and responsible neighbours

         that we may act in compassion & with community-minded vision;

     for the single moments of each day

         that are truly the crucible for our ethics and behaviour.

Amen.

Blessings,

The Rev. Dr. Catherine Faith MacLean
