Eternal God transcending time, yet mindful of the fears, the hopes, the questions raised for us by ever-changing years: so guide us through our pilgrim days that we may find a home where justice, truth, and mercy meet, fulfilled in your shalom. Incarnate God revealed in time, true Word in flesh retold, who marked the years from birth to death, then rose to break death's hold: by your becoming one with us, help us to know and claim the unity of all baptized in your redeeming name. Life-breathing God enlivening time, awaking heart and tongue, inspiring prophets, bringing hope, consoling old and young: draw us to those denied your gifts by bias, want, or strife, convert our wills and form through us new channels of your life. Great Triune God, so bless the time entrusted to our care, that all our varied ministries may form a common prayer; then, when time ceases, bring us where divisions are undone, that in your presence, joined in praise, at last we may be one.
