For Our Military Forces – a prayer When we offer up prayers and meditations for our military personnel and their leaders, the best place to turn our thoughts is not to their work, not to the campaigns they have underway, and not to the success of our troops of the failure of “theirs.” Such things [...]]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/11/for-our-military-forces-a-prayer/feed/ 1 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/08/everything-good-a-benediction/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/08/everything-good-a-benediction/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:39:04 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=905 Everything Good – a benediction

Everything Good – a benediction I don’t think I’ve added a benediction here since the Fourfold Franciscan Blessing that got quite a bit of readership and comment as to the origin of the prayer. (I’m not totally convinced who wrote it yet, and that seems immaterial in that I just like it!)

Cheap Grace I was following, almost as a tangent last week, the story of the latest convocation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in their decision to put off a decision on same-gender couple marriages for another two years of study (no big surprise there: large denominations tend to make canonical change at glacier speeds.)

Prayerful Meditation: Learning our Life from the Universe Around Us Today’s meditation reads like a psalm to me: something very musical sleeps among the words. On a dark day, I found great solace in this meditation, praising the calm and seeking universal wisdom all around me!
