Praying with suffering

Suffering of the heart of Jesus

comfort our hearts, console our hearts, soften our hearts.

Compassion of the heart of Jesus

clothe our hearts, support our hearts, enter our hearts.

Keep all those we love close to you.

Draw us nearer to you in the letting go, letting be, giving back to you all we have received in love.

Let us find our hope, our freedom, our peace in You.

And for those we do not know, 

who also ache for homeland, warmth and welcome 

we pray

let Justice be Done.

Now

Now, now is the moment to surrender
To dive deeply into the endless life given for the world,
ceaselessly

Now,  now is the moment of loving all that is alive
All that cries out for redemption
All that weeps for wholeness

Let go then of all that is not made for glory

You were made for exactly this.
All your life has been leading here.
All your suffering come to one
momentous self emptying second.

Take it, the chance.

Be Humbled out of your little self
and staggered by the strong core of freedom awaiting you.
You, who want so much to be different and find the same relentless same-old.

Let go? For what?

For all the little ones,
nameless, hurting in these early hours.
For the dying, the lost, those aching  in  lovelessness.

Live. Breathe , let God be the beginning, the end, the meaning, your everything.

You are loved, remember that.

You don't need to search to be found.
Already, you know,
you are thrice times held.
Once you drop down you will be taken unravelled into pure sparking true blue.
Dive deeper then,
come undone.

Surrender.

For you know, better believe it,
that God holds on to us with arms soaked through with tenderness.
