Daily Signet
O Holy Spirit,
We call upon the life in us
To regenerate new life—
To replace cells no longer vital
And to revitalize our hearts, our minds, our dedication.
We live in such a jumble of should and rights and wants.
It seems we cannot sustain a rhythm of hours, of seasons, of prayer.
Renew us.
Make our eyes New
Fire our love that it may flow strong and rich.
Take the death in us
And from its ashes grow green visions
And deep-down imaginatio.
Out of the “best of each”, the roots of new action;
Out of our contemplative time, new insight.
Our disappointments, new joy,
Our frustrations, hope.
For this season of renewal, we are grateful.
May this season be reborn in us.
Amen.
