Energize us with Your compassion, Giver of Life,to help the dispossessed, to listen to those without voices,and to reach out in friendship to all.Empower us with Your love; encourage us with Your Spirit;make us strong to bring Your justiceto individuals, communities, nations, and the entire globe. Our society often assumes that "justice" has to do with punishment. We think it means we make criminals pay for their crimes. The biblical meaning of the word "justice," however, means "to make right." This concept of justice has to do with healthy relationships based on equity and kindness; it refers to a society based on life-giving relationships between God, human beings, and the natural world. This is the world Ray Simpson seeks to build, and he offers these prayers as openings into the Divine power that constantly seeks to heal and restore. Remind us, God of Love,that when we eagerly desire the best for one another,the differences between us no longer seem as important.Knowing that we share the same origin, the same essence,and the same journey together away from fragmentation,may we work with You toward the completion of all thingsand all people, so that in Christ,we might be reunitedin love.
Autorenporträt
Ray Simpson was educated at Woking Grammar School for Boys, London University and London College of Divinity. He was ordained into 'the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church' at Lichfield Cathedral, founded by Saint Chad of Lindisfarne in 669. In 1978, he was uniquely commissioned by Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, United Reformed Churches and The Religious Society of Friends, with a Salvation Army band and 'the right hand of fellowship' from Community and Pentecostal churches to establish 'one family of Christians for one neighbourhood' at Bowthorpe, Norwich, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is the Founding Guardian of the dispersed International Ecumenical Community of Aidan and Hilda. The CORE of CAH comprises followers of the way from Catholic, Orthodox, Reformed and Emerging expressions of the worldwide Body of Christ and other faith communities. He lived on England's Holy Island of Lindisfarne for over two decades where he established the Celtic Christian Library and the Community's retreat accommodation for pilgrims. He has been the Community's principal liturgist and Celtic Studies tutor, is the author of over forty books on prayer, spirituality and new monasticism and has travelled and lectured widely on three continents. His popular auto-biography, Monk In the Marketplace, was published in 2021. For information about his daily prayer tweet, weekly blog, downloads and books, see: www.raysimpson.org.
