Holy God,
By such a remarkable gift of grace,
You allow us, mere mortals,
to bear nothing less than the fruit of your Holy Spirit.
So help us live today,
in vibrant ways,
in verdant ways,
planted in the courts of the Lord,
where we experience your glory and grace.
and by your presence,
may this campus even today
be for many
a little echo of Eden
the first fruits of your coming kingdom.
This we pray
through Jesus Christ Our Lord
Amen.
—prayer at the end of this meditation on Exodus 25 at the Calvin College chapel on October 18, 2006.
