Contemplative Sequence v11

I praise you God for all in which you live: evolving in creation so diverse. I meet you Jesus in the Gospel texts: there called follow in the Way you taught. I love you Christ through all in whom you dwell: thankful that in me you also find a home. Lamenting how mankind has messed up life I feel remorse. I too have fallen short, and where your Spirit lives you bear the hurt. Show me mercy that I may find release receive your grace then grow in faithfulness. Though my will is weak your narrow way I seek. Come Holy Spirit be my strength and guide. Inspire me with your love, your joy, your peace: - to show your love as I attend to need; - to spread your peace in how I speak and act; - express your joy within relatedness. I contemplate the wonders you create, in which your glory shows for all to praise, then calls us to conserve all loveliness. God eternal, when at last I'm laid to rest, rapt within the three-in-one may I be blessed.
