This opening of worship liturgy originally appeared in "Listening to the Prophets—Lent 1: The Shaking of the Temple."
Responsive Reading from Isaiah 6
I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
The whole earth is full of his glory!
The whole earth is full of his glory!
Prayer
Almighty God, whose glory fills the whole earth, give us faith to perceive your glory and to receive your Son who displayed your glory on the cross. Change us into his likeness, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever.
Amen.
