Weaver of time, here we are in between so many things, in between holidays, in between the start of COVID and, we pray, its end, in between hope and resignation, in between grief and peace. Come to us, we pray, in these ordinary times, liven them with your gifts of joy and serenity, and fill… Read More
Wednesday Prayer
O God, Breath of Life, we breathe in and out, forgetting millions of times a day that we draw on the Source of all breath.
