Each moment is yours Lord,
for us they are like pearls on a thread,
one moment passing and then another,
for you there is only one pearl
in which all moments are contained,
our births,
our lives,
young,
middle age
and yes our older years,
our deaths,
are before you,
you see all,
know all
forgive all.

I place before your gaze all who will die this year,
that your mercy will be there,
your healing love
and that all may encounter your free gift,
your grace,
the light you offer,
so that we may all truly learn that we are one.

At times it is hard to believe,
perhaps for some it is impossible
yet you dwell within the heart of each,
you carry the stone on which their name is written
known only to you,
their essence is before you,
the truth of who they are hidden from others,
and yes even themselves,
for we do not know our right hand from our left,
yes you see,
they are called beloved by you,
so at death
let the darkness recede
the walls come down
and bring them to the reality,
simple really,
that you exist and are love.

Wrath is ours,
hatred also belongs to us,
we judge harshly
and we project it on to you.

For you forgave those who tortured you,
those who nailed you to the cross
did not stop your compassion or love from flowing,
their hatred and sadism did not deter you,
so why do we fear?

Or stranger yet,
why do we make you into a monster?

Help us Lord to learn,
that some things too good to be true
are in fact just that;
true.
