Please read slowly and reflectively.

Slowly count to five at the end of each line.

A READING FROM PSALM 90 (FIRST READER ONLY)

AWAKEN US, O HOLY ONE!/

TOO LONG HAVE WE BEEN ASLEEP!/

HELP US TO WAIT IN SILENCE/

LISTENING FOR YOUR GENTLE VOICE./

STRENGTHEN US WITH COURAGE/

TO FACE THE FEARS WITHIN./

O THAT WE MIGHT BE CONVERTED IN OUR HEARTS/

AND WALK TOGETHER IN PEACE AND HARMONY./

LET THE GRACE AND GENTLENESS OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT BE UPON US./

INCREASE THE LIGHT WITHIN US/

O BELOVED, HEAR OUR PRAYER!/
