Restore

us, O 

Lord

God 

of  

hosts;

show the light of your 

countenance and we shall be saved.

                                 *We… pray that…

you may give and preserve to our use the harvests 

of the land and sea, and may prosper all who 

labor to gather them…. - Collect for Rogation Monday

               ** Today we also celebrate the astronomers 

            Nicholas Copernicus (1473 - 1543) and 

             Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630)

Pray for astronomers 

& watchers of the skies; 

for mathematicians & 

all scientists who ex-

plore the beauty of number & order, for courage to pursue truth: for humility & awe in 

the face of mystery; & 

for a new vision of the beauty of creation.
