Most gracious and loving God, in that first spark of creativity, you set the cosmos in motion. Time after time, your creative presence brings new life and hope. We experience your love as we see the marvels of nature. We experience your love as we study Christ's ethics and compassion. We experience your love through the ever-presence of your Holy Spirit, who was with you in the beginning, was with Christ throughout His ministry, and is with us to the end of the age. For your loving presence in all your infinite ways, we give you thanks. In your holy name. Amen.
*RESPONSIVE READING: (Psalm 8) The Liturgist & People
L: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
P: You have set your glory in the heavens.
L: Through the praise of children and infants, you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
P: When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place.
L: What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
P: You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
L: You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
ALL: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
