Proper 25 (Year C): Litany for Perspective

Hi! As you may have noticed,
I’ve moved much of my work over to Patreon.
This is part of my effort to make 2019 a #yearofwritingsustainably
So thanks for reading and subscribing.
You can find archived litanies here, and purchase my book here.


Theologian Paul Tillich resisted the idea of God as A Being, and instead pushed for an understanding of God as “Being-Itself". God precipitates being and is inherent in the structure of Being.

This week’s litany is based in themes from the Lectionary text for Proper 25 (Year C), particularly from the Luke 18 passage where Christ says, “those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”.

God, everything we have
Belongs to you.
Everything we know
Was known by you first.
