as this New Year begins to take shape,
come and dwell in me
so that like Mary and Joseph
I may welcome Christ
and allow him to dwell in me more fully.
Come Holy Spirit,
guide me as I open the vessel of my life
to your very breath and life
that brings Christ into me
and works through me.
Come Holy Spirit,
be at work in my
gifts, talents, skills, opportunities,
abilities, learning and living,
so I may truly radiate Christ
and by my blessings be a blessing for others.
Come Holy Spirit,
fill me - the vessel of my life
with much joy, peace and the hope
that is always at my core.
Come Holy Spirit,
direct me in ways of life and openness,
so I may remain rooted in hope,
rooted in Christ,
rooted in my learning, growing, interacting,
sharing of the journey, being, doing…
in tasks great and tasks small.
Come Holy Spirit,
come and be present
so I may keep my eyes on Christ
and humbly and graciously
be a vessel and a servant
open to encountering Christ always.
Come Holy Spirit,
come and continue to do something new in me,
come and be in my openness,
come and fill my heart,
come and help me to let go
so as to open the vessel of my life more
to the power of the Triune love
alive and awake in me.
Amen.
