From Every Moment Holy, Volume II
"Lead me, O Lord, through this layered confusion
of celebration and lament, of things present,
and things past. Let me make of this day a new thing.
Though holidays might be hard days, O God,
by the movement of your mercies
may they also become holy days,
teaching me again and again to entrust to you my many griefs,
as often as these unavoidable days uncover and reveal them."
"Now lead me, carry me, and walk beside me through this day,
O Christ, shepherd of all my sorrows. In unexpected places, let me find joy.
Amen."
