Almighty God our heavenly Father, renew in us the gifts of your mercy; increase our faith, strengthen our hope, enlighten our understanding, widen our charity, and make us ready to serve you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
In the Episcopal Church the renewal movement has generally been associated with a more conservative theological position. However, it seems that all of us, regardless of our particular theological bent, need renewal in our faith throughout our lives. And maybe we especially need it as we come out of a cold, gray winter or as we come to the end of the Lenten season. We need to recommit ourselves and to know that God will give us the strength to follow Christ on his journey to the cross and the courage to live again on Easter and beyond.
