bekennen

Lord,

I recognize my fragility and misery

I recognize my imperfection and illusion

and made of completely nothing and dust

here I am - as an offering at the Altar of Your Spirit 

so that It may be revealed within me

and that Your Breath may make the clay alive

and that Your Life be wholly within me

so that I may become Your instrument

and Your Will may be done.

Amen

This should be the prayer of the hearts surrendered in the face of the desert, 

which are willing, during Lent with the Lord, 

to be prepared with Him for the cross of the world.

[2.3.2020]
