We pray
for the dreamers of this life, O God,
|
|
for those
persons who image new possibilities,
|
|
who long
for what others cannot perceive,
|
|
who spin
dreams of wonder & majesty in their minds.
|
|
Defend
them from ridicule and harsh criticism,
|
|
from self-doubt
and lack of faith in their dreams,
|
|
and from
abandonment of the call to make things new.
|
|
Grant that
from their dreams
|
|
may come
forth blessings for all humankind
|
|
to enrich
the quality of life
|
|
and the
wonderment of us all,
|
|
in Christ's
name we pray. Amen
