An Easter Prayer
The Good Shepherd, mosaic in Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Ravenna, 1st half of 5th century (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Lord, we are your people, the sheep of your flock.
Heal the sheep who are wounded.
Touch the sheep who are in pain.
Clean the sheep who are soiled.
Warm the lambs who are cold.
Help us to know the Father's love through Jesus the shepherd, and through the Spirit.
Help us to lift up that love, and show it all over this land.
Help us to build love on justice and justice on love.
Help us to
believe mightily,
hope joyfully,
love divinely.
Renew us that we may help renew the face of the earth.
Amen
