Tuesday Holy Week Prayer
We will be posting every day during Holy Week with a prayer or reflection. Today, let us pray:
“MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does, in fact, please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Amen.”
(Thomas Merton: A Prayer on Following God’s Will)
God’s presence does not have to abide by social distancing rules. Thanks be to God.
Peace be with you,
