Come Holy Spirit! Do not smile and say you are already with us. Millions do not know you and to us who do, what is the difference? What is the point of your presence if our lives do not alter? Change our lives, shatter our complacency. Make your word Flesh of our flesh, blood of our blood and our life’s purpose. Take away the quietness of a clear conscience. Press us uncomfortably. For only thus that other peace is made, your peace. Dom Helder Camara 1909 – 1999 Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Brazil Peace Prayers: Meditations, Affirmations, Invocations, Poems, and Prayers for Peace, Harper San Francisco, 1992. |
