  RESPONSIVE PRAYER
  Written by Bobbi Salkeld

  LEADER: O Wisdom,
  That fills and holds all things as one.
  You meet us here on the paths we take, and lead us on t’ward break of day.

  ALL: We wait and look for You, O Wisdom.

  LEADER: O Shining Light, in-breaking on each heavy heart undone by long delay. Come, and let all that shrouds and hems us in be held at bay, for mercy’s sake.

  ALL: We wait and search for You, O Shining Light.

  LEADER: O Infant Christ, long foretold, Arriving in the dark of night. You make no claim, lay glory down, O come, and disarm all our discontent
  With your helpless cry.

  ALL: We wait and look to You, O Infant Christ.
