Sunday, May 15 ~ Easter V  

God of Love, without you, where would we be?

God of Joy, you have filled us with your joy and made us complete.

God of Truth, you have filled us with the Holy Spirit to carry your word to others.

God of Peace, our fears and worries have left us.

We will follow your commandments to the end of time.

God of Love, we are here, ready to receive your word for us today.

Thanks be to you. Amen.

Julie Hutton, Minnedosa U.C., Minnedosa, Man.
