Prayer for Goodness
by Laura Cavicchio
Source of All Goodness that lives within us,
In this moment
In the touch of fingertip to fingertip, hand
upon hand,
Let us know each other's goodness,
Let us feel how fragile, and how strong is
our goodness.
In this moment
We are like one heart beating,
We are like one voice crying,
For all around us there is
hatred:
In our streets and homes, in ghettos and shrines and on
battlefields,
Neighbor upon neighbor, man and woman and child,
Nation upon nation.
We ask, where is goodness?
And in our grief, we shed each other's tears.
Source of All Goodness that lives within us,
Let us know the power we hold inside.
Here is goodness. Here is our hope for peace.
In this moment
In the touch of fingertip to fingertip, hand
upon hand,
Let our grief be comforted.
Let the power of our goodness flow
As holy as a heartbeat among us.
In this moment
Let the voice of our goodness rise
Greater than a cry,
Resounding one to another, upon another,
Neighbor upon neighbor, man and woman
and child,
Nation upon nation,
One with the goodness of our human
family and all Creation.
Let all of our goodness be heard,
And let it be the power
From this moment on.
Amen.
