"For the first showings of the morning light

and the emerging outline of the day

thanks be to you, O God.

For earth's colours drawn forth by the sun

its brilliance piercing clouds of darkness

and shimmering through leaves and flowing waters

thanks be to you.

Show to me this day 

amidst life's dark streaks of wrong and suffering

the light that endures in every person.

Dispel the confusions that cling close to my soul

that I may see with eyes washed by your grace

that I may see myself and all people 

with eyes cleansed by the freshness of the new day's light."

- Celtic Benediction by J. Philip Newell

• The Wayfarer’s Prayer by Ann Voskamp

“God, give us the grace to

embrace the mysteries we

don’t understand,

the cruciform openness

to live a tender surrender,

into Your ways wiser and

kinder than ours,

and the deep shalom of

simply being

with You here,

right here,

with us. ”
