Bishop Sumner’s Prayer List –
In the space where congregations need to find a pastor, or find the way after the pandemic
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space of uncertainty of the searcher and the doubters in our lives
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space of waiting and wondering for those who are sick, and those who accompany them
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space which opens up in conversation between combatants, in our culture, in our families.
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space where the exploration of thought and creativity, gifts from God, can move, in scholars, artists, scientists,
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space where the dead await the final day, the trumpet, and their being raised
Veni Sancte Spiritus
In the space created by our groaning, our puzzlement, our wonder, our hope, our wrestling, with You, like Jacob at night, or Job before his friends, or Peter at breakfast, or Daniel in his visions,
Veni Sancte Spiritus
