Every new every young
11.20.05 (3:59 am) [edit]Feast of Christ the King
Jesus Christ the King,
Lord I believe you to be.
The center from which all things flow,
Exist and prosper.
Jesus Christ the King,
A tribal deity you are not.
Hard as we try for you to be,
Limiting your love,
And saving power…..
Your desire
To transform the hearts of men, and woman,
Drawing all deeper into you infinite mystery,
And love.
We try to exclude,
With scriptures quoted,
Verses underlined,
Pounding others,
Thinking we know your will.
Projecting our own limitations,
Creating you in our own image and likeness
And worshipping that idol,
Causing ourselves and others endless pain
And suffering,
A cycle unbroken
If left outside your grace.
Oh light eternal,
Ocean of love and mercy,
I bring all to you,
All men, woman and children,
The good, and bad,
The suffering, and dying;
Those who are imprisoned,
And those who imprison,
The tortured,
And those who torture,
Thru out all space and time.
For in you all time is now.
All moments are the moment.
Full of all potential,
Ever new, and young,
Vibrant and full of life,
Eternal the moment is.
That you saving will may be accomplished.
For the saint, and the sinner,
Are not so far apart in your loving gaze,
For you know us well.
Help us to love and pray for one another,
To be a channel of your love,
Our hearts of stone becoming like your
Human and divine heart,
Filled with compassion, and understanding,
Amen.
