Prayer for Food, Part 2

God,

I offer you my thoughts about food.

Direct me toward gratitude & nourishment of spirit.

I ask for physical & spiritual protection for all

who had a loving hand in preparation of this bounty:

the chefs, butchers, cooks, farmers, gardeners,

facility workers, and delivery drivers alike.

May all these brothers know that their efforts

contribute to our health & benefit the world.

May I never take them for granted!

May this recognition be top of mind,

That I may follow suit and so too heal the world

with a contribution of my own.

Thy will, not mine, be done.

Amen.

Prayer for a Family Relation

God,

We offer this damaged relationship to you.

It is our yearning for our family to be whole.

Let us be reminded: there is no order of difficulty in miracles.

We ask, then, for a miracle:

Heal this broken relationship.  Soften this hardened heart.

Restore our fellowship, trust, and gratitude.

Give us the grace to love others beyond their defects,

as you so willingly love us beyond ours.

Let forgiveness be our motto, as you have so freely forgiven us.

Help us to tread effortlessly down the sacred path of

our eldest brother, jesus,

who loved indiscriminately & without reservation.

Let us take inspiration from this example.

Let us bathe in the magnificent sunlight of the spirit,

as you continue to do for us what we could not do for ourselves.

Bless our dear brothers,

And help us to see all your sweet children as our brethren.

We ask for physical & spiritual protection for them all. 

We ask for these things with love.

Thy will, not ours, be done.

Amen.

Appalachian Trail

I was thinking about hiking the Appalachian trail. In the summertime there’s so much foliage that you can’t see more than just a few tens of feet. For most of the hike, there’s really not much  to see but leaves. But every now and then you come to an opening and you look out across the vista of the mountains and all kinds of peace and inspiration, and that’s why people hike the trail. They don’t…

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace...that where there are shadows, I may bring the light- that where there is sadness, I may bring the joy.... For it is by forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. Amen.
