Prayer

Noticing Spring

 

Let us pause to celebrate and give thanks for the season of spring.

Let us become still.

 

Notice your breathing...in and out...

 

Become aware when the breath in becomes the out breath and repeat.

 

Leader: Creator Spirit,

 

Leader: In spring, the plants stir from their apparent quiet activity during winter

In spring, we notice plants stirring

 

All: In spring, we notice plants stirring

 

Leader: In spring, daylight begins to lengthen, green growth begins to appear and buds

begin to form 

 

In spring, we notice new growth

 

All: In spring, we notice new growth

 

Leader: In spring, wildflowers, daffodils, wattle and other colourful surprises become 

present.

 

In spring, we delight in noticing emerging colours

 

All: In spring, we delight in noticing emerging colours

 

Leader: In spring, new life and possibilities come forth in surprising ways

In spring, we notice new possibilities

 

All: In spring, we notice new possibilities

 

Leader: I now invite you to add your own phrase.

 

Leader: Creator spirit, we are reminded that we live in symbiosis with the created world, 

not to dominate over it, but to coexist in loving it and caring for it in order for it to 

flourish.

 

Amen
