A Prayer for the Path Ahead

Holy One,
 

You who are present in sparrows and street corners,

in silence and song,

in friars and freedom-dreamers,
 

Teach us how to walk gently.

Make us healers of a wounded world,

bridgers of divides too long ignored,

companions to those we've forgotten,

singers of joy that can't be silenced.
 

Strip away what is false,

strengthen what is true,

and shape us into people who live

not for praise,

but for peace.
 

Amen.
