not that us low-church-people would forget….(!!) but since the turn of the month: i’ve been reflecting a bit on Ephesians 1,… and with this season of ascension I’m really appreciating this liturgical-prayer, so I share it with you…

May the eyes of your heart be opened to the nature of God: who is source, Saviour and spirit,
may you know the power, strength and riches of relationship with the living God,
may you grow in wisdom, insight and understanding of the ways of the living God,
that you may be free to know more of God each day,
that you may be free to know the hope gifted to you,
that you may be free to know who you where formed to be,
that you may be free to be all that you were formed to be,
that you might give the best of everything you have, you dream of, you are,
in communion with the God-community and with the community of God’s people,
in the love of the God who created, re-creates and reigns
in the deep peace of God now, tomorrow and into the future.
