Come.


Come, O Holy Spirit

Come open us to the wonder, beauty, and dignityof the diversity found in each culture, in each face, and in each experience we have of the other among us.

Come, fill us with generosity as we are challenged to let go and allow others to share with us the goods and beauty of earth.

Come, heal the divisions that keep us from seeing the face of Christ in all men, women, and children.

Come, free us to stand with and for those who must leave their own lands in order to find work, security, and welcome in a new land, one that has enough to share.

Come, bring us understanding, inspiration, wisdom, and the courage needed to embrace change and stay on the journey

Come, O Holy Spirit, show us the way.

  1. *sigh* kerry, you have no idea how much this has been the prayer of my heart for the past several weeks. especially the part about "us", instead of me. the "us" meaning that we each belong to one another and that we all need the holy spirit to show us the way. thank you for praying this prayer with me.
