St. Patrick’s Day

Reflection

“I want to travel in patterns of God’s making:
Walking in wonder, gazing all around,
Knowing my destiny, though not my destination,
Moving the rhythm of the surging of his spirit,
A journey which when life ends, in Christ has just begun.”
—Julia McGuinness

Prayer                                      

God in our journeys,

Today we take inspiration from the life of your servant, Patrick, and give thanks for the treasures of Celtic spirituality that he helped to advance. Grateful for Patrick’s example, we invite you to guide us today as sojourners, pilgrims, and companions in ministry, striving to move in our service forward by the rhythm of your own spirit. Guide us to a bright future that is just as wondrous and awesome as it is effective, serving the real needs of a world waiting for healing and liberation, mercy and compassion. Amen.
