Blessing

 

May your hands be so blessed
that everything you touch is a sacrament.

 

The world now is too dangerous
and too beautiful for anything but love.
May your eyes be so blessed you see God in everyone.
Your ears, so you hear the cry of the poor.
May your hands be so blessed
that everything you touch is a sacrament.
Your lips, so you speak nothing but the truth with love.
May your feet be so blessed you run
to those who need you.
And may your heart be so opened,
so set on fire, that your love,
your love, changes everything.

I found this blessing / benediction in a Substack newsletter called “The Cottage.” It came from the Black Rock Prayer Book.
