Litany
A litany for those who would fly kites
Leader:
Those who fly kites know that kites are earthbound
and cannot lift and soar until they are caught by the wind.
People: People and churches are earthbound
and cannot be themselves until the wind of God's Spirit lifts them to
fly.
Leader:
Kites are not free to thrust and move
until they are let go to explore the skies.
People: People and churches are not free to love and care
until they can let go and catch the Spirit which is love.
Leader:
Kites have no power and direction
unless they are caught and controlled by the wind.
People: People and churches have no power and direction
unless they allow the Spirit of God to move within them.
Together: O
God, may your Spirit lift us from being earthbound
and free us to soar, to explore, to have direction and purpose.
