Sunday Morning Prayer

I watch this morning for the light that the darkness has not overcome. I watch for the fire that was in the beginning and that burns still in the brilliance of the rising sun. I watch for the glow of life that gleams in the growing earth and glistens in sea and sky. I watch for your light, O God, in the eyes of every living creature and in the ever-living flame of my own soul. If the grace of seeing were mine this day, I would gimpse you in all that lives. Grant me the grace of seeing this day. Grant me the grace of seeing. --- from Celtic Benediction by J. Philip Newell
