Lord,
we have never seen your face and we are but passers-by on our earth.
And from our poverty spring forth our cries of wonder,
our songs of gratitude for your Name, beyond all Names.
No one is loved as they deserve, except by you, Lord.
Share with us your view of the humble realities of our daily lives and let us feel your
quivering that probes the depths of the human heart, and we bless you for it.
In our lives, ploughed by time,
you have discreetly placed a rare pearl with fiery reflections.
But why have you placed such a treasure in such a fragile earthen vessel?
You have chosen to make your home there so that one day only your face will appear.
We bless you.
