A Prayer

O God, the fountain of life,
to a humanity parched with thirst
You offer the living water that springs from the Rock,
our Savior Jesus Christ
stir up within your people the gift of your Spirit,
that we may profess our faith with freshness
and announce
with
joy
the wonder of your love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God,
forever and ever.
Amen.
