Day 13
Your own prayer

Prayer has a deeper priority (than making yourself holy);

it is the sanctification of the world

of which you are a privileged inhabitant.

Listen to the voices

of longing in your soul,

your hungers. …

Make a prayer that is big enough for your wild soul,

Write a prayer that is worthy

of the destiny to which you have been called.

John O'Donohue (1956-2008)

Irish poet, author, priest, philosopher,

from Eternal Echoes

 

Wholeness

consists of coming back into relationship 

with what is deepest in all things; 

that is, the of-Godness

at the heart of the earth

and all life forms

and all people.

John Philip Newell 

poet, peacemaker, minister and scholar of Celtic spirituality
