of faith and conviction: three

Praying with 'the Hebrews'. Suite for Year C portions of the letter. 

Hebrews 13:1–8, 15–16 

in hope, with conviction,
remember
the example you have seen.

go on, with mutual love: 
look deep for the angels 
in the guise of strangers;
see the prisoner, see
the tortured, as if your own
reflection.
go on, with mutual love: 
honour love and covenant,
yours, your neighbours'. 
go on, with mutual love: 
trust the Holy, do not fear,
and so, show gratitude,
know peace, be content. 
go on, with mutual love,
with Jesus the Christ,
offering praise to Holy One;
be kind, be generous,
delight the Holy One. 

in hope, with conviction,
we see you, Holy One,
we stand in your holy realm. 

Amen.
