“God, give us the grace to

embrace the mysteries we

don’t understand,

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. ”

“ Almighty God…

Sun behind all suns,

soul within all souls…

Show to us in everything we touch and in everyone we meet

the continued assurance of thy presence round us,

lest ever we should think thee absent.

In all created things thou art there.

In every friend we have

the sunshine of thy presence is shown forth.

In every enemy that seems to cross our path,

thou art there within the cloud

to challenge us to love.

Show to us the glory in the grey.

Awake for us thy presence in the very storm

till all our joys are seen as thee

and all our trivial task emerge as priestly sacraments

in the universal temple of thy love.”
