Rogation Days (May 10- May 12) are a small season between the Sixth Sunday in Easter and Ascension Day. Historically, Rogation served four purposes, which we attempt to highlight in our writings. These focuses were: blessing the land for harvest, reconciliation of differences, neighborliness, and mercy for the poor. When we began to think critically about this season we noticed a common thread: community. We hope these reflections prompt conversations and actions that unify our sense of belonging and strengthen our ability and desire to love and care for The Other.

Solstice Prayers (June 20, 2020) Portions of: Daybreak liturgy for the Summer Solstice
* You are the Lord of this short night and the breaking dawn. Amen. * You are our help from one solstice to another, and watch with us throughout the year, Lord beyond time yet incarnate in time.
Seeing the Sunrise King of the brightness and of the sun, You alone know the reason for our being, be with us every day, be with us every night, be with us each night and day, with us every day and night.
May the precious light of the Solstice Sun surround and enfold you, May it fill your heart with the Oneness of Divine Love that embraces all shadows and frees your Soul to once more soar among the Heavens. Author unknown
Let Your Light Shine As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. Destroy the darkness about me, Scatter the darkness before me, Disperse the darkness behind me, Dispel the darkness within me. Let your light shine on me. As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. The warmth of your Presence, The brightness of your love, The radiance of your joy, The shining of your hope. Let your light shine on me. As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. Your light to guide, Your light to lead, Your light to direct, Your light to brighten. Let your light shine on me. - Found on: Power Lines: Celtic Prayers About Work by David Adam
"Behold my brothers, the spring has come' the earth has received the embraces of the sun and we shall soon see the results of that love!
Every seed has awakened and so has all animal life. It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves, to inhabit this land."
