Haiku/Prayer
Light flung by candle
Shared in its space with shadows
Motion chasing change.
May our candle seek out the shadows.
Amen.
(UTO Book of Prayers – Mary Pauly of Souh Carolina)
Prayer for Courage
Courage comes from the heart
and we are always welcomed by God,
the Croí of all being.
We bear witness to our faith,
knowing that we are called to live lives of courage,
love and reconciliation in the ordinary and extraordinary
moments of each day.
We bear witness, too, to our failures
and our complicity in the fractures of our world.
May we be courageous today.
May we learn today.
May we love today.
Amen.
* Croí is Irish for heart.
(Pádraig Ó Tuama, Leader, Corrymeela Community)
