May We Be the Blessings

An overhead view of a few square feet of a street paved with concrete bricks, showing the yellow flower of a dandelion growing in the space between two bricks. The flower is on the right side of the photograph, and its color matches a yellow stripe painted on the pavement, which fills the left third of the photo.

Spirit of Life, Eternal Beloved of Mystery and Grace;
Receive our prayer:

We come before That Which is Greater than ourselves in gratitude for the fullness of our lives.
For the anguish and grief that inform our mission to Side with Love again and again.
For the suffering and disenfranchisement of our people that foment our passion for Justice and wholeness.
For complex lives, for hard lives, for real, full and overwhelmed lives, we give thanks for the blessings that we have been given:
the reassurance of community, the steady warmth of hope, and the unwavering faith that There will be better days.
We give thanks and seek your grace.

Spirit of Love, come alongside with all the holy nudges that we need,
So we may live in such a way that we celebrate all the blessings that we have been given.
So we may Be the blessings in the world.
