3rd Sunday of Epiphany, Collect (Redub)


God of mystery,
Jesus healed people,
turned water into wine
and pointed the way towards you.
Then the people were amazed
by your presence arriving with them.
Arrive, O God, right now, we pray,
in all corners of the earth,
that your order may be found
in the holy muddle of life.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 7.7 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 26.0 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

The 3rd Sunday of Epiphany Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project began Advent 2012.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
