#digitalformation

2. Opening Prayer Holy Spirit, you blessed the first disciples
with the power to spread God’s love throughout the world.
Give us a new power to proclaim your word through our own unique gifts
and through new channels of communication.
Make us willing to receive that word as it enters our daily life.
Guide those who send out your message
and those who receive it,
so that all people may come to know your truth
and be renewed by your love.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.

Church is a space in which the Spirit works to form Christlike people, and it is the space in which human beings, formed in Christlike love, cooperate with the Spirit and one another to express that love in word and deed, art and action. - Brian McLaren
