Luke 12: 49-59 "Fire on earth"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today.
A collect based on Luke 12: 49-59
Cleansing Spirit of God,
You disrupt and divide the established order,
creating crisis when there is chaos at the heart of things.
Come, living fire; scorch the weeds that choke our creativity and compassion.
Regenerate this life on earth, this life in us.
Bring us to the moment of renewal, that “Yes” in which we discover love.
Amen.
The art work today is Fire (Oil on Canvas. Faces Series: Jesus the Fiery Prophet, 2002. Collection of the artist.) By Jyoti Sahi, an artist based in Bangalore, India. Jyoti, along with Rowan Williams and others, is a patron of Christians Aware which seems like an interesting group based in Leicester.
