BENEDICTION

Love After Love

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Amen.

BENEDICTION
Father,

We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who showed loving kindness to the powerless, that You will grant to the people of this nation the will to do good, to flee from evil, and to practice all righteousness, making us respectful of life and sharers of Your blessings, caring for one another in mercy and truth.

Amen

PRACTICE
Think of someone who you know very well, whose story you know very well. Holding their face in your mind, say this prayer:

Remember to be kind

Endeavor to be aware

Of the quiet world

That lives behind each face.*

Think of someone whose story you've decided you know. Someone who you've written a narrative about, that you might need to let go of. Holding their face in your mind, say this prayer:

Remember to be kind

Endeavor to be aware

Of the quiet world

That lives behind each face.*

Now, see your own face. Knowing your own story, say this prayer:

Remember to be kind

Endeavor to be aware

Of the quiet world

That lives behind each face.*
