In the midst of the recent pandemic, there was an uncertainty about how long we would be facing an on-going time of fear, disease and loss. Unlike a fixed time, like a week or a month, the pandemic was a "season" and, like the seasons of nature, it course was unpredictable. I wrote this text as a prayer that sought to find seasons of mercy, peace, healing and hope in the midst of suffering and loss. Click here for a PDF of Grant Us All a Season of Grace.
This hymn was written for the 2021 gathering of the Society of St. Gregory (SSG) in Great Britain. Their conference centered around our responsibility to protect, preserve, nurture and heal this sacred creation and all life upon it. Click here for a PDF of Our Common Home.
We Pray for Peace
This is a musical setting for intercessory prayer. Although originally written for use in contemplative worship, it has also been used in our regularly Sunday worship. I have found that a sung congregational response (to either spoken or chanted bids) deepends the assembly's connection to their common prayer (and singing the response with the echo also brings the assembly into a deeper sense of participation).
