May your love and truth be made manifest in our ordinary lives.

Awesome God 

On our dusty bedside cupboards

the Word of God

rests

Full of stories

of your love and truth

made manifest

In ordinary lives

May your love and truth

be made manifest

in our ordinary lives.

We human beings

Are made in your image

And by some strange unimaginable miracle

You choose to be involved in our lives

You dwell within us

You invite us into your plans

for the wholeness and healing of our world

Yet as we live and work together

There are times when

In contrast to the

perfect complimentary

dance

of the Trinity

we grate against

and vy with each other

like unsettled tectonic plates

or wounded animals

Forgive us.

Help us to watch carefully and listen deeply

And learn the steps of your dance.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Be our peace.

Be made known in us

Be seen in us

May the world find your unmistakable fingerprint in our hands

May the world encounter your merciful face in our faces

And may the world experience your radical, outrageous  love

through us

As we go about our ordinary lives

made extraordinary because of your love.

Amen
