Carreg Samson, ancient funerary site

Frank’s prayer at Carreg Samson

We thank you, Lord, that you have left nopeople anywhere without some knowledge of you.  We thank you that the Light of your love has shined on every people, in every place, in every time.  We thank you that your Light, which shined on the people who built this monument, prepared the way for the Light of Christ to shine in this land.  And we thank you that the Christian missionaries, who brought the good news of the Gospel to the descendants of those who assembled these stones, did not disdain the truth these ancient people had accurately perceived, but somehow were able to take it up into the further truth about Jesus that was being revealed. 

Help us, O Lord, to recognized your truth as it is perceived and cherished by others who may be different from us, so that we may work together to make your reign a reality on earth.

Thanks be to you, O God, for your holiness which is manifest everywhere.  Give us eyes to see your Glory, we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
