the goal is union

May I live this day

Compassionate of heart,

Clear in word,

Gracious in awareness,

Courageous in thought,

Generous in love.

today O Sacred One

I want to be a saint

I want to be so connected to the sacred

So permeated by Sacred Presence

So permeated with Sacred love

That my whole life becomes and expression of who God is

I become “holy”

Which is, as I understand it, what it means to be a saint

Being a person with an exceptional likeness to Jesu

St. Stephen has such a nice ring to it

so Lord

this day consume me,

be present inside me,

roll

roar

blow

it is time for a non-hostile take over

make yourself so much a part of me

that I cannot tell where you start and “I” end

let us be united

for that is what faith is all about

may we be like lovers

yes, like husband and wife

two becoming one

the mystery of incarnation

of faith

and

life

even life in the time of Covid-19

will take care of itself
