Temple Body - A Prayer written and read by the Rev. Dr. David Long-Higgins
O Love,
Bless this temple body
Given as gift by You
Enlivened by Your Spirit
For worship and work
In thanks and praise
Of all You make possible.
Form in me a reverence
For care of this gift
Of body given by You
For the purposes of love
To build Your justice joy
For the full flourishing
Of everybody’s body.
Bless my ordinary eating
With your Holy Spirit
And awaken me
To Your precious presence
Bearing Your life-giving
Energy of eternity
Here and now.
Grant me grace
To savor the sacramental sip
Of Your life-giving water
Forming and reforming
Each cell of the universe
Of universes you form
In every living body.
Quiet my mind and heart
Enough to hear Your pulse
Bearing Your life large
In this little body of me.
Yes, Love,
Bless this temple body
That I may walk and work
Speak and keep silence
And reverence this gift
Formed by You
For reverencing You
In every other body
Also formed by You.
Amen.
Prayer by the Rev. Dr. David Long-Higgins
