And as nature awakes to the warm sunshine and refreshing showers, so in response to Your beckoning may there stir within us a desire for righteousness and goodness. So breathe upon us, O Spirit of God, that the beauty and virtues of our Lord be upon us that even while pilgrims of the night we may be heralds of the morning.
We pray to our God, known by us, as altogether wise and true. Amen.
