You call us
to stand between
the past,
and a new becoming,
to midwife
new life
through confusion, and pain…
+
Teach us to listen,
will you
teach us to pray…
+
You call us
to hold the hands
of those who cling to
what was,
and reach out to those
who beckon us onward
and upward
beyond our comfort zones…
+
Teach us to listen,
will you
teach us to pray…
+
You call us
to be present to the
tears,
and the anguish
as one life
gives way to
bring forth another
whose presence
will demand
change after change…
+
Teach us to listen,
will you
teach us to pray…
+
You call us
to be transformed
by the transformation all
around us…
+
To be present
in the temporary stillness
of this liminal space
and to catch Your whisper
on the wind…
+
Come Holy Spirit,
help us to
walk this path
+
Teach us to listen,
teach me to pray…
