O Holy One ...
We live in a troubled and tumultous time ...
around us voices cry out for justice and righteousness ...
voices cry out in pain and distress ...
voices cry out in anger and disgust ...
voice simply cry out ...
Around us we hear and feel the burden of pain others carry,
we yearn through faith to respond and reach out ...
yet fear enters in and anger overwhelms us ...
Teach us again your gift of patience O Holy One.
Guide to the springs of living water
where we can refresh our souls and restore our troubled hearts.
Grant us your wisdom and gift of discerning
that we may lead rather than follow,
that we may inspire rather than react,
that we may offer your love and care rather than resentment and anger.
We live in a troubled and tumultous time O Holy One,
be with us every step of the journey ...
opening our beings to the splendour that is your love
and holiness in our world ...
These things we ask in your Blessed and Most Holy Name.
