Hymn   Jesus Calls Us #562 (though I am not sure you are going to sing along to this one! )

Meditation 

Prayer:  Risen Jesus, when we forget you, it is we who are absent. 

But you remain present at all times, deep within us. 

Sometimes we start looking backwards,

And let ourselves be overrun by regret

Or the nostalgia of the recent or distant past. 

Holy Spirit, you who dwell in us always, 

Enable us to receive you with a trusting heart, in faith, 

So as to live quite simply in the present moment, 

Nothing more. Amen. (a prayer from the Taize community.)

Hymn.        Fight the Good Fight #674
