Scripture:

Meditation:

Sabbath settles on Jerusalem
Like a dove,
Gliding on silent wings.
Sabbath settles in my heart,
A lover with open arms,
Embracing my soul with song,
Wrapped in quiet breathing.
I send blessings into the world.
Light.
Bread.
Prayers of peace

(adapted from “Shabbat Settles on Jerusalem” by Alden Solovy in This Grateful Heart, 2017)

PRAYER:

O God, you give a peace that passes all understanding;
May this Sabbath be a time to grow in wisdom and prayer. Amen.
