Sacred Silence: Practice

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

longing to FEEL
to be held, embraced, contained
in the things that are right
that are good
that are true

this empty shell can hold no more
of its own creation
its own substitutions
its own delusions

the rushing flood in my mind
the burning sun on my face
the tearing fists of my soul

be replaced

by the gentle stream of grace
the cooling breeze of mercy
the healing embrace of Spirit

Accept, O Lord, my thanks and praise for all that you have done for me. I thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love. Above all, I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of His Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom. Amen.
