Tuesday Morning Opening Prayer

     In the beginning, O God,
You shaped my soul and set its weave
You formed my body
     and gave it breath.

Renew me this day
     in the image of your love.
O Great God, grant me your light
O Great God, grant me your grace.

O Great God, grant me
     your joy this day
And let me be made pure
     in the well of your health.

-- J. Philip Newell (1953- ), from Celtic Prayers from Iona
