How cultivating Joy can change the World
This past Sunday our congregation had a very joyful celebration as we confirmed four very special individuals. The service was lovely, music inspiring and the sermon deeply meaningful. The tradition here at All Saints is to have the confirmation class rewrite the Lord’s Prayer as they understand it. Each year the prayer is different but it is always meaningful and gives the rest of our congregation something to ponder, to see the prayer in a new way.
We all know the Lord’s Prayer, we recite it together, our voices joining as one as we lift our hearts to the Lord. As I hear the sacred words I have wondered if we are truly praying; do the words reach our heart and go out to God or are they so familiar we recite them without much thought.
On Sunday as we read the understanding of the confirmands about this prayer many of us paused to reflect in wonder at how fresh and alive it became and we also marveled that four young people understood the original version so well that they were able to breathe this new life into it.
This week I offer their version of the prayer and encourage you to read it and let it sit in your heart. May you fully feel the joy of God’s love as you do.
God our Father, we are so grateful that you watch over us, love us and forgive us. We trust you with our troubles and our future. Give our community safety, food, shelter, hope and healing. Forgive us our past, present and future mistakes and help us to forgive those who hurt us. For this is your world. Let love be true forever and ever and always.
Amen.
