Thursday of Week 18 in Ordinary Time

 

 

O that today you would listen
As at Meribah, not your heart.
To the Lord let us hasten.
And let us make a new start.

By chance in the church praying.
A stillness descended.
The moment would be passing.
But a prayer ascended.

I suddenly felt we are all called.
In our own way a prophet to bear witness.
That prayer had not in vain ascended.
We all have our own particular spiritual fitness.

We may think ourselves worthless.
But in all of us somewhere is a little holiness.

……

Are we just worthless
Or are we sometimes prophets
Maybe yes or no

…….

See Psalm 95
