Beauty in the world



This is why I like to work on Tuesdays.
Keeper, the pet therapy dog, comes to visit our unit on Tuesday...and my friend Darlene!!!
I hope you enjoy the prayer below....it is written by Jim Cotter, an Episcopal priest.
It is his version of the Lord's Prayer and it is very beautiful.
Namaste,
Michele

"Eternal Spirit,
Life-Giver, Pain-Bearer, Love-Maker,

Source of all that is and that shall be,

Father and Mother of us all,

Loving God, in whom is heaven:

The Hallowing of your Name
echo through the universe!
The Way of your Justice
be followed by all created beings!
Your Heavenly Will
be done by all created beings!
Your Commonwealth of Peace and Freedom

sustain our hope and come on earth!

With the bread we need for today,
feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another,
forgive us.
In time of temptation and test,
strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure,
spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil,
free us.
For you reign in the glory
of the owner that is love,
now and for ever.
Amen
