Good Evening Dear Family !
I hope everyone has had a good day and are ready for a time of prayer and meditation! But first I am introducing a new title for Wednesday! It used to be Wonderful and Wonder Filled Wednesday but now I think we need more time for wisdom and that means today it is #WisdomWednesday. This time of the week we seem to find ourselves needing words of wisdom and a little more common sense.
A bit of music to settle us in.
Holy Wisdom Lamp of Learning
Let us light our candles and lift up our prayers and let our hearts be filled with and enlivened with Holy Wisdom.
Prayers of Wisdom:
Gracious and loving God of Wisdom we pray this night for peace in Your fragile and broken world.
Gracious and loving God of Wisdom give us wisdom to continue to wait, watch, listen, and pray daily and not get ahead of ourselves
Gracious and loving God of Wisdom give us peace in our hearts so that we may daily connect with you and not fear, hate, or be on a destructive and divisive path.
Gracious and loving God of Wisdom, instill in us the courage and strength to combat injustice, speak truth to power, be a voice for the voiceless, and shed a light and give love and care to our invisible and fragile ones.
Gracious and Loving God of Wisdom, heal our bodies, minds, and spirits, and all those who have asked us for prayer remembering this day________________
Gracious and Loving God of Wisdom, inspire us to use the wondrous gifts that you have given us to your honor and glory and for the good of your Kingdom and Creation.
Gracious and Loving God of Wisdom, enliven our hearts, quicken our steps, and may we feel the Waters of Life coursing through our veins this day and always. We ask these prayers in the name of your Son Jesus the Christ who redeems, heals, and reconciles. Amen.
And Prayers on the Eve of St. Michael and All Angels!
Take time to listen to the following songs as part of our meditation time:
Christ the Fair Glory of the Holy Angels
1 Christ, the fair glory of the holy angels,
maker of all things, ruler of all nations,
grant of thy mercy unto us thy servants
steps up to heaven.
2 Send thine archangel Michael to our succour;
peacemaker blessed, may he banish from us
striving and hatred, so that for the peacefulall things may prosper. and all Angels!
3 Send thine archangel Gabriel, the mighty;
herald of heaven, may he, from us mortals,
drive every evil, watching o'er the temples
where thou art worshiped.
4 Send from the heavens Raphael thine archangel,
health-bringer blessed, aiding every sufferer,
that, in thy service, he may wisely guide us,
healing and blessing.
5 May the blest mother of our God and Saviour,
may the celestial companies of angels,
may the assembly of the saints in heaven
help us to praise thee.
6 Father Almighty, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God ever blessèd, hear our thankful praises;
thine is the glory which from all creation
ever ascendeth.
