God of hosts, your breath emanates wisdom and love. In gladness we pray: 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Your wisdom reflects eternal light: lead us to greater wonder and awe. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Your dwelling place inspires joy: strengthen us to bring the peace of Christ to those with whom we live and all whom we encounter. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Your altars provide a home: help us to care for those who are without long-term or adequate shelter. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Our Father . . .  

May the love of God, the peace of Christ, and the joy of the Holy Spirit be with us now and for all time. Amen.
