Tuesday Prayer

On this day,
We pray for the beauty of the earth,
and the wonder of this world
to infuse our hearts with blessing and love
in the midst
of division,
in the midst
of destruction,
in the midst
of the prattle and pounding of the news, the commercials, the strife that surrounds us.

May the quiet center of your heart
find the quiet center of our hearts,
and may it stretch and open
to encompass
all that you love,
with compasssion,
with breath,
with kindness.

O hear our prayer,
and lead our thoughts,
Amen.
