Jesus, You came not to be ministered unto

Jesus,

You came not to be ministered unto

but to minister.

Your ministry was your presence,

and it still is.

So we thank you for your presence

among us and within us.

Since we are most ourselves

when we are most attentive to you

and obey you,

Help us to go about our daily business

with your spirit

and to know that when we pray"

it is you praying within us.

So may we carry out our ministry

and yours.

Amen.

John B. Coburn (1914-
