Sacredise - Prayer: Love In Action

Love In Action

by John van de Laar

Your love, O God,
    is an active love:
        engaged,
        involved,
        immersed.

Your love, O God,
    is seen in what you do, not just in what you say:
        in the blessing of children,
        in the meals with outcasts,
        in the touching of the untouchable,
        in your presence,
            and your self-giving,
        in your opening of the way to life
            to all who will come;

And your love, O God,
    is expressed through people like us:
        as we share our wealth in simplicity and generosity;
        as we share wholeness in care and healing
            of the sick and broken;
        as we share hospitality by being truly present
            to the lonely, the imprisoned and the marginalised;
        as we share peace in kindness, listening and acceptance
            with those who challenge us, confront us and threaten us.

As you have loved us in incarnate action, O God,
    may we learn to be little incarnations
        through whom your love is expressed and experienced
        in action.

Amen..
