This morning, I would like to offer you another prayer by
Thomas Merton.
Oh God, we are one with You. You
have made us one with You. You have taught us that if we are open to one
another, You will dwell in us. Help us to preserve this openness and to fight
for it with all our hearts. Help us to realize that there can be no understanding
where there is mutual rejection. Oh God, in accepting one another
wholeheartedly, fully, completely, we accept You, and we thank You, and we
adore You, and we love You with our whole being, because our being is Your
being, our spirit is rooted in Your spirit. Fill us then with love, and let is
be bound together with love as we go out diverse ways, united in this one
spirit which makes You present in the world, and which makes You witness to the
ultimate reality that is love. Love has overcome. Love is victorious, Amen.

The music, that I share will be slightly different. The piece “Listen” was composed as a soundscape for a new album I recently completed in collaboration with the contemplative poet, AndÅ. The piece/soundscape is used as a beginning point to accompany your prayer and meditation practice. I hope that it bring you peace and stillness. Click Here to play the recording in the background as you read scripture, sit quietly, or reflect.
