A Prayer-Poem of Love and Faith
by Marilyn O’Leary
Who knew in such a time as this that grace would shower us with faith and love.
Who knew that unexpectedly God would show Itself in a message, a card, a look, in eyes behind masks, in prayers on line, in all the people who try to do right, who try to make sense and make a life out of such unexpected difficulties and change, who try and who succeed in loving.
We don’t minimize the pain of human experience, but sometimes we can see beyond in a flash of knowing that Love is all around us and we are a part of it, and that as we give we receive in a never-ending circle of beauty and creation. And sometimes the more we look the more we see and we feel blessed.
I know for all that you, that I, that we are a blessing to this Universe, that we are here purposefully to make a difference because we have faith and the motivation of inspiration and creativity to make a life of meaning no matter what our circumstances are, and it is beautiful.
I am filled with gratitude and this is all I know, that it matters. That thank you and I love you are the same. That in saying this, I am at peace. I am One with all, and I know it, and I am grateful. And so it is.
