a prayer

a prayer

Let me not, this day, rack up jewels in heaven by the virtue of my deeds.

 Let me, instead, serve those who would be your servants.

Let me be the poor, the naked, the hungry, for those who would practice charity.

Let me be steeped in sin for those who would practice forgiveness.

Let me be ignorant, a fallow field in whom, those, who would sow the seeds of enlightenment, may labour.

Let me be the soul lost in desolation, crying out to those who would be guides, and teachers.

Let me be the dark, dispelled by those who would carry  the candles of love in their hearts.

In this way, let me, most nearly, experience the love of God…………..

Re: a prayer

Hey, Annette,

Where is this prayer from? It is most unusual…

Did you write it?

I need to contemplate it more deeply…

Back later,
