Holy vision
Jill Woodliff prayers

Our Father in heaven, Creator of the universe,
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. Your Spirit hovered over the face of the waters. Through Your Word all things were made. Without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Your Word was life, and the life is the light of mankind, shining in the darkness.

Send Your Spirit to hover over the hearts and minds and souls of the bishops of the one holy catholic apostolic church. Teach them to see with the eyes of Your Living Word, our blessed Savior Jesus Christ. Give them holy vision that no darkness may be part of their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Fill their bodies with Your light in order to shine forth in their lives and ministries.

In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World, we pray. Amen.
