First Sunday of Lent, Post Communion (Redub)


Loving God,
your Spirit renews the face of the earth
and in our communion you renew our life together.
Give those with no food, bread;
and those with bread, the hunger for justice.*
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 9.02 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 24.28 years.

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

The First Sunday of Lent Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

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

* I attempt to not discuss or comment here on the text, but this sentence is a straight lifting of a Latin American prayer and I wanted to note that.
