My God,
Source of life,
Source of love,
May I be your messenger in a world that's in desperate need of you.
May I be an instrument of your peace in a world filled with division and discord.
May I bring love where there is anger and hatred.
May I bring compassion and understanding where there is hurt and suffering,
Where there is doubt and fear,
Cause my faith to rise up.
Where there is despair,
May I be a voice of hope.
In darkness,
May I bring light,
In sadness,
May I bring joy.
Most high God,
Rather than seek my own comfort and consolation,
May I show mercy and be a comfort to others.
Rather than needing to be heard and needing to be right,
May I bring patience,
Understanding,
And a willingness to listen.
Rather than seeking to be loved,
May I be love,
For it is in giving that we receive,
In forgiving that we are set free,
And in dying to self that we are born into our true and eternal life.
Let it be so,
Let it be now,
Let it be.
