Psalm 58

Psalms for Praying 
Nan C. Merrill
 
O Beloved, open our eyes;
break through the darkness of 
our ignorance, 
tear down the walls of our fear. 

Awaken us to the interconnectedness of all beings, 
to all that fly and swim, 
to all that walk and crawl upon the earth. 
 
Those who know Love will rejoice as 
the nations learn to cooperate, 
as the peoples of earth recover 
their true heritage. 
People will say, "The time has come 
to dwell in peace and integrity; 
to walk together in the light 
of the Most High, 
Heart of the Universe.


A mighty river is polluted.  Communities are ripped by violence. Children go hungry.  Insults are hurled and guns are fired. Surely the time has come to find a a better way.   It is always there for us.
