Prayer for the Gift of Wisdom and Love

God!

How much is in us

madness, stupidity

and limitations,

but wisdom and love

with You!

Give us at least a spark

Your wisdom and love,

sealed in Thy word.

From a sermon on the day of remembrance

Pdp. Andrew of Crete

Prayer for Unity

Lord, Jesus Christ!

Thou hast said unto us, Where two or three are gathered together in my name,

I'm there among them.

You didn't want people to walk alone through life

You have gathered us together to be one family.

Let us fulfill Thy new commandment,

that we may love one another as thou hast loved us.

Give us patience, forbearance

and power over oneself.

May we be one, as you are one with the Father and the Spirit,

according to Thy prayer and commandment.

So that our light may shine in this dark world,

Coming from Thee,

and men have come to know thy love

in the love of the Father, in the salvation of the Son

and in the communion of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Evening Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ!

In this evening hour, in this city,

where Thy blessing rested,

In the midst of all sufferings, sins and troubles,

Thou who sufferest and took upon Thyself
