Offering

This week's reading from 

A Mystical Heart

by Edwina Gately

I give to you, Holy One,

my tiredness when

the day is done.

I give to you my anxious fears,

the pent-up heart

that holds back tears.

I give to you, Living One,

unfinished work,

things left undone,

calls not answered,

memos piled high,

my sense of failure,

my stifled cry.

Oh, I give to You,

Compassionate One,

my life's little pieces,

my broken song.

I give to You, God of all grace,

this broken pot.

this empty space.
