As We Pray

Art by Mike Cockrill 

Blessed Oneness!
If they come at us
As we pray:

We pray and place ourselves in front of the fear, 

We pray and place ourselves in front of the anger, 

We pray and place ourselves in front of the grief.

 

We pray and delight in our memories. 

We pray in delight in each other.

We pray and delight in our prayers.  

 

We pray and pledge ourselves to justice, 

We pray and pledge ourselves against hate, 

We pray and pledge ourselves to the long repair of our broken hearts.

As we pray.

Amen
