PRAYER: Disturb us, O Lord![]()
when we are too well-pleased with ourselves![]()
when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little,![]()
because we sailed too close to the shore.![]()
![]()
Disturb us, O Lord ![]()
when with the abundance of things we possess,![]()
we have lost our thirst for the water of life![]()
when, having fallen in love with time,![]()
we have ceased to dream of eternity![]()
and in our efforts to build a new earth,![]()
we have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim.![]()
![]()
Stir us, O Lord![]()
to dare more boldly, to venture into wider seas![]()
where storms show Thy mastery,![]()
where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.![]()
In the name of Him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes![]()
and invited the brave to follow. Amen.![]()
