Millennium Prayer
God of all ages, Lord of all time,
you are the Alpha and the Omega,
the origin and goal of everything that lives,
yet you are ever close to those
who call on you in faith
We look with expectant joy
to the jubilee of your Son's coming among us,
two thousand years ago.
We thank you for the years of favour
with which you have blessed your people.
Teach us to share justly the good things
which come from your loving hand;
to bring peace and reconciliation
where strife and disorder reign;
to speak out as advocates
for those who have no voice;
and to rejoice in a bond of prayer and praise
with our sisters and brothers throughout the world.
When Christ comes again in glory
may he find us alive and active in faith,
and so call us to that kingdom
where, with you and the Holy Spirit,
he is God, to be praised, worshipped and glorified,
both now and for ages to come
Amen.
