One who formed us –
In the sea and mighty waters of our lives, make a way and a path. Extinguish war and quench violence like a wick.
Help us perceive the new thing You are about to do…this new thing that makes a way in our wilderness and rivers in our desert.
Give us water in our wilderness to drink, so we will honor You like the wild animals, the jackals and the ostriches.
As the new thing springs forth, may we forget the former things, and may we declare Your praise.
Amen.
(The Fifth Sunday in Lent is April 3.)
