Tuesday Prayers...

...ah Holy One,
we lift up our hearts to You,
we curl into the crook of your Embrace,
we sigh.
we Sigh.
You sigh with us....knowing what we cannot articulate.
Hope...the word of Advent One...
one can always hope, yes? without belief? 
for You are our hope.
help us to hear your Summons.
help us to Hope that you are calling...
ah, Holy One...
we ache,
we agonize over this world...
of missing children, of abused spouses, of hungry, forlorn, homeless people...
we hurt...
for those terrorized, forgotten, alone, in despair...
we wonder...
how on earth, let alone heaven,
can your Love break through all of this?

we can only hope, and pray without believing, without words,
that Love will indeed find a way.

ah, Holy One,
we rest our troubled hearts
in the crook of your embrace.
Amen.
