As we enter into the Sabbath of this summer eve I wish you peace; deep abiding peace… and love. May we know and be peaceful. To make peace with whatever needs expression and to greet whatever feelings arise, no matter how difficult, with a little willingness to see anew. To give is to receive. May your peace filled radiance flow from within to warm the hearts of the world.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
"Contemplatives in all religions invariably come to the same insight because it is the deepest level of truth: Being is One." -Richard Rohr
