The Lord’s Prayer

By Published On: November 4, 20120 Comments on The Lord’s Prayer

Good caring presence within us, around us, and above us;

Hold us in a sense of mystery and wonder.

Let the fullness of your goodness be within us and around us;

Let all the world know your ways of caring and generosity.

May we find we have all we need

to meet each day without undue anxiety.

Overlook our many stupidities, and help us

to release everyone from their stupidities.

May we all know that we are accepted.

Strengthen us that we will reach out

to the best, always with the faith

to rise above the ugly realities of our existence.
And we celebrate the gifts you have given us –

the rich kingdom of life’s possibilities

the power to do good and the triumphs of good

and the moments when we have seen

the glory and wonder of everything.

You are life’s richness.

You are life’s power.

You are life’s ultimate meaning –

Amen.

Francis Macnab in “The Historical Jesus Goes to Church”
