Making All Things New


Opening Prayer: May we open ourselves to God who dwells within us. May we hold nothing back from you Holy One and share everything with you. Through your grace may we be enabled to let go of our fears and allow you to be the God of our lives. Amen. 


Reading: Ilia Delio


Get Up! Go into the world and live in the flow of love. Forgive, show mercy, be compassionate, care for the poor, tend to the earth as family; find your inner wholeness in the love of God and create new wholes in your midst, in your communities, your workplace, at shopping malls, and jazz fests. Live in the energy of the Spirit; let yourself be led into new patterns of wholeness, into new structures and languages that kindle life more abundantly. Stop playing with your toys, your electronic gadgets; stop creating books of laws and rules that lie on dusty shelves; do not lose yourselves to consumer products that blind your mission or distract your attention from the whole. Get up because you are too old to be asleep, lest you die in your sleep and the world dies of neglect, Grow up because it is time to move on. The world is your life, and your life belongs to the whole of life. Stop tying to preserve yourself; lose yourself; lose yourself in something more than yourself because you have the power to christify life, to help unify it, to raise it to a new level of ultrahumanity . Live to the point of tears and don’t be saddened by sin, misunderstanding, weakness, and hate. Omega love is in our midst, and this love is our power, our hope and our future. Remain in this love, because this love is the fire of life itself and will endure forever. Be the co-creator you are made to be: emblazen this world with the grandeur of God.


Affirmations and Intentions: 

 Holy One, make us an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let us sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.


Oh Divine Creator, grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love.


For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.


Prayer of St. Francis, adapted by Deven Horne


Silence to add your own intentions.


Closing Prayer:  

May you go forward
Securely, joyfully, and swiftly,
On the path of prudent happiness,
Not believing anything,
Not agreeing with anything
That would dissuade you from this resolution
Or that would place a stumbling block for you on the way,
So that you may offer your vows to the Most High
In the pursuit of that perfection
To which the Spirit of the Lord has called you. —Clare of Assisi
