Prayer Offered for May 31, 2017

Blessed be the house that offers the traveler a place of rest.

Blessed be the table that sets a banquet for the stranger to share.

Blessed be the heart that opens to welcome the one who cannot repay.

Blessed be the one who receives and the one who gives.

Blessed be the belonging we can sense when the heart is still.

Blessed be the space created by kindness in which we step into our potential.

Blessed be mercy in all of its facets for it invites us to unwrap its gifts

And sing with all creation a song of joy.—AMEN.
