in
the fury of our fears
when
we feel alone, abandoned,
our
prayers without words
our
thoughts a jumble
may
we breathe the scriptures
the
ancient prayers of the people
finding
peace within the words
and
Christ’s fulfillment within them.

like the melting wax
(this one and the others
below all written during
Good Friday prayer vigil)
April 9, 2015
in the fury of our fears
April 9, 2015
in the frenzy of our
questions
April 9, 2015
In the presence of our
cries
April 9, 2015
we ask where God might be
April 9, 2015
we are free to be honest
April 9, 2015
why have you forsaken me
April 9, 2015
struggling to breathe
April 9, 2015
as he hangs on a cross
April 9, 2015
we hear Jesus pray
April 9, 2015
a prayer of
disillusionment
April 9, 2015
a prayer of suffering
April 9, 2015
a prayer of anger
April 9, 2015
a prayer of question
April 9, 2015
a prayer of anguish
Psalm 22:1
“My God, My God, why have
You forsaken me?!”
