Variation on a Prayer of St. Patrick
I breathe in joy as I stand today:
Calling on the Source, the Wellspring and the Living Water
Believing in the Threeness,
Witnessing the Oneness
On my way to meet you face to face.
Now let’s spend about one minute using part of this prayer as a breath prayer. On the in breath, say: “I breathe in joy.” On the out breath: “… as I stand today.”
Petitionary Prayer
Today we’ll pray that joy will be accessible to people going through difficult periods—divorces, moves, job losses, job changes, etc.
Story from All Creation Waits
Story from the Advent book, All Creation Waits, written by Gayle Boss and illustrated by David Klein—today’s story is about the wild turkey.
Reflection on Story
The author talks about how wild turkeys call reassurances to each other in the most difficult of weather, especially to the youngest among them. Let’s take a minute to meditate on how God and others have reassured us in hard times, and how we can be an encouragement to people in our various spheres of life—maybe especially to the youngest in our families, churches, and communities.
Benediction
Go in peace
Wash your hands
Love your neighbor
You are not alone.

Story from All Creation Waits
Story from the Advent book, All Creation Waits, written by Gayle Boss and illustrated by David Klein—today’s story is about the opossum.
Reflection on Story
The author talks about how the opossum depends on humans for survival, and are somewhat at our mercy. Let’s take a minute to meditate on the ways we depend on God for our survival and well-being, and how we lie vulnerable and trusting in God’s care.
Benediction
Go in peace
Wash your hands
Love your neighbor
You are not alone.
