Litany for Summer

Sunflowers by Mandy (Used with permission)

God, we thank You for turning the earth toward the Sun .

We thank You for summer.

As the days and the light are long,

So is the Love of God:

   Endless

   Fruitful

   Full of possibility

   Bursting with energy.

As growing things are awake and progressing,

So may we become awake

To Your light and to Your love

   Making progress

   Seizing opportunities to grow

   Readying for harvest.

As our plot on the planet faces the sun, our star,

So do we turn ourselves toward the Son

Following the Way of Christ,

Following the Way of Love,

Growing to maturity,

Spreading seeds of Good News to all.

Amen
