Litany<\/h3>\n

(inspired by Genesis 1<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

In the beginning God created all things
\nand God saw that they were good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At our beginning, God created us
\nunique and irreplaceable
\nloved by God and wanted by God
\nknown to God and treasured by God
\neven before he created us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In all our new beginnings, God creates something new.
\nSo we will seek God
\nin the freshness of morning
\nin the laughter of friends
\nin the colours of creation
\nand in the warmth of spring-time sunshine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord God, King of Creation,
\nopen our eyes to see your presence
\nour souls to sense your presence
\nand our hearts to love your presence
\never here in your creation
\nand ever beyond it in eternity.<\/strong>
\nAmen<\/strong><\/p>\n
