Oramus

 

Let us Pray!

 

The open gesture 

and injunction to lift our 

hearts and minds to God…

 

Stilling the whirl of 

pulsing distractions amid

the ordinary…

 

Giving over to

silence that invites the touch

of intimacy…

 

Being present in

mind and body before the 

radiance of God…

 

Nuzzled and cuddled

by the warmth of the embrace

we nestle closer

 

and open our hurt,

our longing and needs to the 

Sweet God of our Heart.

 

We lift them up to the Lord!
