A Prayer for the Word Rabbi Harold S. Kushner

Let the sun come down and wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations. Let the rain wash away the memory of the hurt, the neglect.
Then let the sun come out and fill the sky with rainbows.
Let the warmth of the sun heal us wherever we are broken.
Let it burn away the fog so that so that we can see each other clearly.
So that we can see beyond labels, beyond accents, gender or skin color.
Let the warmth and brightness of the sun melt our selfishness,
So that we can share the joys and feel the sorrows of our neighbors. And let the light of the sun be so strong that we will see all people as our neighbors. Let the earth nourished by rain, bring forth flowers to surround us with beauty. And let the mountains teach our hearts to reach upward to heaven.

Amen

A Green Heart, by Kate MacIlhagga

A Green Heart
Into a dark world
a snowdrop comes,
a benison
of hope and peace,
carrying within it
a green heart,

symbol; of God’s renewing love.
Come to inhabit our darkness Lord Christ,
for dark and night
are alike to you.

May nature’s white candles of hope remind us of your birth
and light our journey
through Lent and beyond.

Kate MacIlhagga from: The Green Heart of the Snowdrop.
