Prayer
O God, help us to feel
you;
Help us to know how
precious we are to you,
that we might become at
least half so precious to ourselves.
Move with us, according
to your desire.
Ease our hearts, melt
our harsh edges
so that we might sense
how intimate you truly are.
Guide us, God in an
ever more complete embrace of you,
that we might bear more
of your endless embrace of us,
and thereby embrace
ourselves.
Keep alive within us, O
Christ, your most precious gift to us
which is our burning,
longing, wordless yearning for you.
Grant to us the courage
and the vulnerability and the dignity
to claim our hunger for
you in every moment,
celebrating, in each
instant the pain and delight of our longing.
Touch us beneath our
will, opening us where we cannot open ourselves,
healing us where we
cannot heal ourselves.
And, in the vibrant
mystery of your Spirit within us,
accept our eternal
gratitude for every act of goodness
that comes to us from
another or through us for another,
for every nourishing
way that souls may touch each other,
for every bit of love
we share, and for the wonder,
the tender laughing
touching calling beautiful wonder.
