Blessed are the healers

“This is the kind of Friend

You are -

Without making me realize

My soul's anguished history,

You slip into my house at night,

And while I am sleeping,

You silently carry off

All my suffering and sordid past

In Your beautiful

Hands.”

Blessed are the healers

Blessed are those who find a way

To take away the pain of others

Those who accept, rather than merely tolerate

Those who forgive

And care

Who sneak up on others

Unawares

And gently

Touch their lives for the better

Blessed is the Lord

For above all others

This god who is love

Finds us

And when we least expect it

Carries away that which

Which is limiting and harmful

In beautiful

Sacred

hands
