I don't remember where/when I first read this, but it's beautiful and I wanted to share it with you. "Ted Loder’s prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit
speaks to this moment in liturgical time:"
“Lord,
send the gift of your Spirit to fill this place and myself and the world. Touch
me with truth that burns like fire, with beauty that moves me like the wind; and
set me free, Lord, free to try new ways of living; free to forgive myself and
others; free to love and laugh and sing; free to lay aside my burden of
security; free to join the battle for justice and peace; free to see and listen
and wonder again at the gracious mystery of things and persons; free to be...to
give, to receive, to rejoice as a child of your Spirit. And, Lord, teach me how
to dance, to turn around and come down where I want to be, in the arms and
heart of your people and in you, that I may praise and enjoy you forever.”The best is yet to come,
~Adwoa
