‘Prayer is asking, and prayer is sitting. Prayer is the breath. Prayer is not an answer, always, because not all questions can be answered.’
from Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community
by Pádraig Ó Tuama, p. xi
A prayer
I know
that when the stress has grown too strong,
you will be there.
I know
that when the waiting seems so long,
you hear my prayer.
I know
that through the crash of falling worlds
you’re holding me.
I know
that life and death are yours
eternally.
by Mother Janet Stuart (1857-1914),
