Bring this scripture reflection to a close with a circle prayer. With joined hands and united hearts create a litany of thanksgiving for those prophets in our church and society who, because they are filled with God’s Spirit, are able to announce and bring about the signs of the reign of God. Name people who are or who have been prophets and say briefly what they are doing. Use a litany form such as this: “Rosa Parks, who insisted on the rights of all people to enjoy human dignity and respect.”
Respond to each name:
ALL: You show us the way into the company of God.
