*Invocation
Dear Lord,
Our human nature has a powerful way of drawing us off course. We want to serve
you and be faithful to you, but we are distracted by human desires, by pride
and by putting religion in the place of a personal relationship with Christ.
Open our eyes, Lord. Open our hearts. Let us feel the guidance of your Holy
Spirit. We ask this in the name of the One who taught us to pray…
