A prayer to the Magnificent One

Magnificent One,

here are the gifts You offer:

fierce kindness

and reckless love,

shattering truth

and a healing touch,

rich, lovely comfort

for travel-weary souls,

and laughing acceptance

of outcasts and fools.

You have Your own brand of love.

It’s a far-reaching, far-ranging love

that invites me to climb over the fence

and step into the wide-open fields

of Your grace.
