the dark night of the soul is upon me

torn between the now and the longing

God you breathe though all of me

Though all those I am with

Through all those on this Mother Earth

Help us to be open to YOU

and BE with us

              humanity is suffering

              our children everywhere are dying

dying because their skin is a different color

dying because one thinks their religion is superior to the other

dying because of our greed

dying because we are so empty inside of ourselves

dying because we have forgotten how to share

dying because of our self-centeredness

dying because we lack love of self, and so cannot love others

God we ask YOU to breathe Your Love into us

Help us to love each other

Help us to be open and receive

We need Your Light in this world

Help us to be Light-carriers to one another

empty us of our false images

empty us of our hate

empty us so we can be filled with Your LOVE

*

each child in this world is my child

each woman in this world is my friend

each man in this world is my friend

we all share the same color of blood

we all share the air we breathe

and that breath is YOUR LOVE

there is enough food for all

there is enough water for all

there is enough land for all

help us to tear down our boundaries

and open our hands to receive  Your Love

help us to open our hands so that others can freely take from us

without stipulations, reservations, demands

You, God, are the Gentle Love that breathes into us

Mother Earth has provided life for us

Let us share that life with each other

Forgive us and help us to be FOR giving…

to BE…for this God created all  (Wisdom I:14)
