We open our hearts to prayer.
Let us open our hearts to the mystery that moves in our lives, the
unseen touch on the soul that comforts those who that weep, the gentle
hand easing the courageous forward. A presence in the heart to console
the sad. A presence in the heart of joyful songs, a presence that is a
source of warmth, source of light. Mystery that understands weakness,
mystery guiding footsteps. The ancient light in modern darkness leading
lost spirits back to reverence and wholeness.
The paths of life lead towards unknown places, through strange
landscapes. The path is both an adventure and a trial. The expected is
not found. The unexpected can stand like a highwayman, yet we must
walk on, sometimes forced to turn aside, sometimes made to face our
fears. Sometimes walking in the light.
When times have been good let us be grateful and follow the sun. , when
times are sad let us walk on. Know that the presence of that greater
love walks with us, stands beside us when we pause. Becomes part of
daily life.
The mystery within can forgive wrongs and understand weakness. The
mystery within strengthens our own spirits and hearts and our own
hands to reach out and help the souls who travel with us.
In our prayer let us be the pilgrim band that joyfully makes the journey, at
ease with life, in love with the world and filled with a deep knowledge of
that holy mystery of God. Be welcoming to our fellow travellers, aid and
support them, for each one carries the same mystery in their hearts as
we do.
