One: Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved. All: You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. One: You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. All: The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches; One: It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River. All: Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? One: The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. All: Turn again, O God of hosts; look down from heaven and see; have regard for this vine, the stock that your right hand planted. |

In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all people to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in Church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to love holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God |
