We pray, together!We pray, together!Blessed are you, god of all creation in your image you have made us; in your likeness you have formed us;

out of love you have called us each by name; before we were born, you dedicated us; prophets to the nations, you appointed us.

Open our hearts to your word, o God as with your prophet jeremiah, guide us;

as with jesus in the synagogue, give us the courage to speak your word.

For we must stand as prophets in the world this day.

For we are you people and you are our god. Amen!
