Autumn Months
O God of Creation, you have blessed us
with the changing of the seasons.
As we welcome the autumn months,
may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.
May the brilliant colours of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.
May the harvest from the fields remind us of the
abundance we have been given and bounty we
are to share with others.
May the dying of summer's spirit remind us of your
great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.
For the people of the Holy Land
For the wounded,
and those facing a lifetime of scars,
for those desperately seeking medical treatment
where there is none;
Lord, have mercy.
For medical and emergency personnel,
risking their own lives
to save those of others;
Lord, have mercy.
For those who cannot see anything
but rage and violence,
that you would surprise them with mercy,
and turn their hearts towards kindness
for their fellow human beings:
Lord, have mercy.
Mighty and caring God,
you promised that, one day,
swords would be beaten into ploughshares,
meet us in our distress and bring
peace upon this troubled land.
Amen
