God of prophets and priests, patriarchs and matriarchs, disciples, and us -

we so often drift through the clouds of life

not understanding what we are seeing or saying,

unable (or unwilling or in any case, failing) to cast out the sorrow and suffering we encounter.

Give us the faith to see the light of your love in the face of each person we meet

that may we stop being faithless and perverse,

and might live all the moments of our lives in your goodness and grace together.
