Beloved

This one is for Kim....

with whom I share the Lenten practice

of praying the Lord's Prayer....

Beloved,

You who dwell

at the heart of Creation,

come

and make yourself known to us.

Give us this day

life in its fullness.

Forgive us when we

deny it in others

as we forgive those

who take it from us.

Keep us from hopelessness

and despair and deliver us

into freedom.

For you are life,

and breath, body

and being in

every moment's

eternity.

Amen.
