Be Thou My Vision
Verse 1
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that thou art.
Thou my best thought by day and by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Verse 2
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, I thy dear child;
Thou in me dwelling, with thee reconciled.
Verse 3
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
Verse 4
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'ns Sun!
Heart of my heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

The power to make the peace we long to know
Open up our eyes
To see the wounds that bind all of humankind
May our shutter hearts
Greet the dawn of life with charity and love

I see my brother, I see my brother
When I look into the face of my enemy
I see my brother, I see

Prayer
4 Movements
Centering Focus - Reflection and Petition - Collect - The Lord’s Prayer
Centering Focus
Take a deep breath. Pause and settle into this moment:
Leader
O God, who by Your grace made Your goodness to pass before Moses and allowed known to him your intimate Name, YHWH; grant that we would also know you intimately. And in walking the Way of Christ, that we would find ourselves looking back and seeing that Your Goodness has passed before us.
All
Our Lord God, You are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Humbly, we ask that we might see You here.
Reflection and Petition
(Open your life to God, Listen or say whatever needs to be said.)
Collect (For the Spirit of Prayer)
Leader
O Almighty God, you pour out on all who desire it the spirit of grace and earnestness of prayer; Deliver us, when we draw near to you, from coldness of heart and wanderings of mind, that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we may worship you in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Scripture
Matthew 22:15-22
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Prayer
The Prayer of the Beloved
“Jesus, you are the Beloved.”
Focus your mind entirely on Christ's perfect, secure relationship with God. You are anchoring your prayer in a love that already perfectly exists.
“I am the Beloved.”
Allow this truth to sink past your defenses. If feelings of unworthiness, anxiety, or a mental "to-do" list arise, do not fight them. Simply acknowledge them and gently return to the breath and the phrase: I am the Beloved.
“We are all the Beloved.”
Picture your family, your friends, neighbors, and even those you struggle to love or forgive. Recognize that the same unconditional love holding you holds everyone else.
