Christ, Cornerstone and Foundation of Our Lives

Second Prayer from Wednesday Evening Prayer, 4th Week after Holy Cross, Maronite Liturgy.

“Christ,
cornerstone and foundation of our lives,
by your hand we are carved,
in your keeping we are secure,
and by your divine power we are upheld.
When the winds of evil blow,
and the storm rages on the great abyss,
when the rains fall upon the mountains
and over the proud creatures,
may the torrents of our sins not sweep us away to die in our faults.
Remember that you have become part of us, and we of you.
Grant us to praise your unspeakable power,
now and forever.

Amen”.Photo by Joshua Eckstein on Unsplash
