Loving God, you are the author of beauty. In confidence we pray:
Open our eyes to your wonders, O God.
Lead us to accept ourselves and others as created in your image and likeness.
Open our eyes to your wonders, O God.
Reconcile families who are estranged, and heal relationship wounds.
Open our eyes to your wonders, O God.
Help us to show appreciation to gardeners, florists, farmers, and landscape artists.
Open our eyes to your wonders, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the light of Christ guide us, the love of Christ enfold us, and the peace of Christ reign in our hearts, now and always. Amen.
