Collect

Mothering Christ, you have birthed us from the womb of existence into the open fields of Resurrection Living. Guide us by your faithful staff; may we hear your voice so that even if we are in the presence of those who trouble us, we will know your goodness and mercy; that eternal life wherein you and the Father are one. Amen.
