The World Is about to Turn

Leader
Creator God, You created the universe out of chaos.

All
Help us to see your order amid the chaos of our time.

Leader
Your Spirit brought life to all creation

All
Send your Spirit to stir our creativity.

Leader
You set the earth and all things in motion.

All
Attune our hearts to the rhythm of your movement in our lives and our world.

Leader
As we take time away to consider the history of humanity,

All
Open our minds and hearts to see the world anew.
May our eyes see the ways you move in our world.
May our hearts awaken to the call to build your kingdom.

Leader
We pray together.

All
God, creator of heaven and earth,
Let the first of your justice burn
throughout the world
and in our hearts.
Send your Spirit to us as we explore together
the future of Catholic health care in the unfolding of the human story.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
