Baptism of the Lord
PRAYER OF PREPARATION Jesus, Beloved Son of God, all that you ask of us, you first did yourself. Help us to follow the way you first traveled: to serve others and to let ourselves be served; to love stranger and neighbor, enemy and friend. When we struggle, remind us of our baptism, the waters that slake the soul’s deep thirst, and unite our hearts as one, so that we can carry out your work. Amen.

Holy Triune God, author of community

God who tears the heavens,
Many: reveal to us your power that ushers in new realms. (continued...)
