GOD IN MYSELF AND OTHERS

Dear Lord,
help us to see that all are known to you,
help us to acknowledge the poverty and imprisonment you release us from.
Grant that in giving thanks to you
for your acceptance of us
we may come to recognize you in
the broken spirits of those around us.

Thank-you, for so many chances to receive
your blessing, by sharing
the reality of your love with those who feel
themselves alone.

Give us grace to be still, often, to hear your voice
and know your presence;
to be one with you in prayer
that your love may overflow through us into the world.

Knowing ourselves brings us to our knees;
loving you kindles prayer;
praying grows our capacity for love;
loving you in others, frees us, to serve them;
serving breaks us,
broken we are shared.

So may we give thanks for shadowing
your image in the world.

And giving thanks we enter your presence.

For Thou art all in all and there is no place
where Thou art not.

By the light of Thy face all are beautiful.

For if you have such love for me
then all are so loved and all is well.

Blessed be Thy Name for ever.
Amen.
