Fr. Seán ÓLaoire

We are brown and white and red.

We are the shoes on the palette of your artworking.

We have learned to speak 7,000 languages, each one of which can sing of your wonders.

Help us to awaken.

We have followed the signs of your safari on Gaia, getting occasional glimpses of you in our theologies, and having full-on encounters with you in our mystical moments.

We are Buddhists and Baha'i.

We are Christians and Confucianists.

We are Jews and Jains.

We are Muslims and Zoroastrians.

We are Shintos and Shamanists.

We are Sufis and Sikhs.

We are Daoists and Hindus.

We are seekers, sometimes sleepy seekers, and sometimes awakened ones.

Help us to awaken.

We do not ask for signs anymore, for we are surrounded by miracles.

Rather, we ask only that we come fully awake.

We ask that we become mindful of our true nature, which is Buddha nature, that we become aware of our core essence, which is Christ consciousness.

Help us to awaken.

Through this realization, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we offer you honor and glory forever and ever.

Amen.
