Prayer Offered for August 15, 2016

     A quote from the Quaker writer, Thomas R. Kelly says: “Deep within us, there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center…to which we may continuously return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-worn lives, warming us with intimations, calling us home unto itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves…to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life.”

     God of love and mystery, come and transform us. Stir up in us an ardent desire to bring about Your reign of mercy and justice. Sanctify the work of our lives so that all our acts may shine Your light on those whom we serve. We ask this in faith.—AMEN.
