“While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be
careful to have it even more fully in your heart.”
― St. Francis of Assisi

Ah, it is Sunday morning O God
and soon I will be asked to proclaim
peace
love
the good news
soon I will be asked to stand
in front of people who love God
and seek God
and say
something
anything
that will help them on their journey
help me to remember O Sacred One
that the most profound sermon I preach
will be in the time before
and after I preach
that my strongest message will be
in the attention I pay the person who is feeling without
value
in the light squeeze of the hand, of the widow who is
feeling so alone
it will be in that moment when I kneel down and talk with
a child
Remind me O God of love
That my most authentic message will be preached
when I open my heart
and let Your love flow
to whomever
is
there
