Father of Time, Mother of Creation
we thank you for the gift of Jubilee
which sanctifies both time and space.
During this Great Jubilee
at the dawn. or the new millennium
teach us the wisdom of Sabbath rest
for your earth and for the land of ourselves.
Teach us the wisdom of forgiveness of debts
for those who cannot pay
and for those
we refuse to release.
teach us the wisdom of Jubilee justice
to remind us that all we have belongs to you
and to ensure that everyone has enough.
Teach us the wisdom of Jubilee liberation
that we might free those who are oppressed
and languish in captivity. Strengthen our
families, parishes, church and nation
that we might truly become Jubilee people.
Amen.
