Prayer of the Week 14 June 2020

O God, your name is veiled in mystery, yet we dare to call you Father;
your Son was begotten before all ages, yet is born among us in time;

draw us more deeply into your divine life, that we may glorify you rightly,
through your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.

Amen
