Courage comes from the heart

and we are always welcomed by God,

the heart of all being.

We bear witness to our faith,

knowing that we are called

to live lives of courage,

love and reconciliation

in the ordinary and extraordinary

moments of each day.

We bear witness, too, to our failures

and our complicity in the fractures of our world.

May we be courageous today.

May we learn today

May we love today.

Amen

from Daily Prayer by Padraig O Tuama of the Irish Corrymeela Community
