Opening Prayer
Eternal God of Life, breathe on us again! Bring to life the disconnected dry bones of our experience. Make our hard hearts and dry spirits come to life again and respond wholeheartedly. We dry up and die through disillusionment, disappointment, and despair. We disconnect from the body of Your human family and the Risen Body of Your Son. Connect us in the passion of Your Spirit. Create of us vibrant, living people, who love You and each other with responsive, embracing, and passionate wholeheartedness. Breathe in the tombs we create within and among ourselves. Be our God of Life. Breathe powerfully, Holy Spirit, that we may live fully from the Heart of Christ, and therefore fulfill Your law. Thank You for renewing Your Breath, availability and love for us!
