God, companion and guide,
thank you for the gift of faith.
Thank you for accompanying us all
as we embark upon this new leg of the journey with you
and with the companions you send our way along the road.
Help us look forward with joy and anticipation,
knowing that the past rests securely and peacefully in our hearts.
Empower us to heed James’s reminder
that the gift of faith is dead
if we do not live it out each moment,
one day at a time.
Encourage us to reach out to those we encounter upon the road,
especially companions in need of justice, love, care, safety and shelter
Help us live out our faith together,
today and each day.
