Let us Pray. for God’s Love Creator God, Let your love come into me and bring me peace. Let me know that while we all seem to be separated and in conflict, traveling along streams that diverge and seem destined never to meet, we are all being drawn to our common source. The burden of judgment is not mine; let me leave it on the bank of the river and continue on my journey toward the source. Let me leave this burden behind; instead, let your love enter me and reveal to me the sacredness of your wonderful heavenly creation, and let me know that I am a part of it too, that I belong to it and will never be lost from it. Let me see the very small part of your love that I bear within my heart expand, until it fills the universe I will know with the knowledge of your loving and caring community. This will be a community when through our awareness of each other we will care for each other without calculation or expectation of personal gain. The seed of this community and this love is already present; you have planted it in my heart in my dedication to your service. Allow it now to grow, to give off its warmth, to surround me with an awareness of the radiance even of the outermost edge of your presence. This is only the beginning of what I will know as our true life to be lived in the consciousness of your nature and in the company of the angels who serve you. Anything negative, evil, poisonous, frightening, or threatening will pass, as the cloud of smoke passes when the fire has extinguished itself. There is structure and law in the universe that extinguishes these flames; let me remember that this burden is not mine. Fires of darkness are kindled here on earth so that your love may be seen. Later on, when it is no longer so dark, the fires will pass, and we will behold the fullness of your love in perfect tranquility. While I am still here, where the road barely begins, let me not mistake the present obscurity for the journey’s ending. I can already know just a little of this ending right now, by attending to the very tiny “mustard seed” of love you have already planted in my heart, and by hearing the “still, small voice” that speaks above thundering winds and roaring flames. In the stillness of this love lies the strength to keep me immovable in the face of dangers, threats, fears, seductions, and the present cruelty of the human heart, and for this I give you thanks. In Jesus Holy Name I pray.
