Love is the lens through which I discern the secret things of God.

— J. H. Jowett


Pray Together with Us

Almighty God and Father of light,
a child is born to us and a Son is given to us.
Your eternal Word
leaped down from heaven in the silent watches of the night,
and now your Church is filled
    with wonder at the nearness of her God.
Open our hearts to receive His life
    and increase our vision with the rising of dawn,
that our lives may be filled with His glory and His peace,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

— International Committee on English in the Liturgy

Wesley’s Covenant Prayer

I am no longer my own, but Yours.

Put me to what You will, Rank me with whom You will.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed by You or laid aside for You.

Exalted for You or brought low by You.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine, and I am Yours.

So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth, Let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
