God of every new beginning, each rekindling, all fresh starts, reawakening joy and wonder, rousing nerve in fearful hearts: shepherd us through doubts and shadows; with new promise prod and brace; show us how our past connects us to your future full of grace. God the Spirit, life-bestower, singing wind and dancing fire, fount of faith's imagination, hope's endurance, love's desire: come, renew your gifts among us, let them form our minds and wills; fire us with the truth that frees us; breathe again the peace that stills. God Incarnate, dwelling with us, Word made flesh by human birth, Love embodied in our story, Suffering Servant here on earth: shape our lives by your self-giving, feeding, healing, washing feet; help us still behold your image in each heart and face we meet. Triune God, entwined and vibrant, never-ending, un-begun, manifest in threefold splendor that remains diversely One: teach us how our life together forms a witness to your care; through this holy mystery may we firmly trust and greatly dare.
