May 24, Year of Our Lord 2009
O God the King of glory, you have raised your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph into your kingdom: we beg you, do not leave us comfortless, but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us and raise us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AMEN.

God of flaming truth and burning compassion, give us courage to turn to you with awe. You are so holy, we are so common. You are so beautiful, we are so shabby. Enable us to turn, turn, turn! Grant us grace to prepare the way for your coming. As we embody righteousness and peace in an eternal kiss, may we see high ridges leveled, canyons filled up, a smooth path and level way for the Coming One. As we turn to you, turn to us we pray, and in the light of your presence let us find our true love and worship. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit; one God forever and ever. AMEN.
