Praying with Walter Brueggemann – Start Again

You are the One who has brought our Lord Jesus Christ
again to life from the dead;
You are the One who by your summoning imperative
has caused the worlds to be;
You are the One who by your faithfulness
has given a son to our vexed mother Hannah;
You are the One who has the will and power to begin again,
to start anew.

You are the only self-started whose name we know.
And so we bid you, start again,
start here, start now
start with us and with our school,
start with your mercy,
and with your justice,
and with your compassion,
and with your peace.

Make the world new again, and young again, and innocent again…
Start… before it is too late. Amen.

From Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth
