Luke 11:1–13
Divine Source of Love and Life,
Holy is your unspeakable name.
May your Way of Love resound through earth,
heaven in our midst.
All we need to live and thrive
we receive from you, Creator;
forgive us when we turn away,
as we forgive each other.
Keep us on the path of Wisdom,
away from wicked tyranny;
Spirit ever breathe through us,
empower us with hope.
From you, through you and in you,
are all things, now and always;
to you be all honour and praise.
Amen.
