confession
We are jealous,
so jealous of each other.
Heal us of our envy,
give us peace, give us peace.
We see the love offered
to another – we would
have it for ourselves;
we see gifts bestowed
elsewhere – we feel
we are overlooked;
we hear praises showered
on a neighbour – let them
drown all we receive in doubt.
We see the honours adorn
the walls of others, wonder why
our walls are lined with bad reviews;
we see them come between
us and our desire – throw them
in wells, for profit, far away.
We are jealous,
so jealous of each other.
Heal us of our envy,
give us peace. Give us peace.
grace
Holy One will feed us
the peace for which we hunger,
and more: will forgive
our jealousy to heal it,
heal us back to being enough.
Look up, look deep,
to the heart of Holy One:
find yourself, enough,
find peace, find peace.
Amen.
