A Blessing for Work
This given to me by poet Jessica Schafer, and I share it now with you. May it bless the work of you hands, and the work of you soul.
May the Light of Your Soul Guide You
John O’Donohue
May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light, and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration, and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.
May the day never be a burden.
May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.
May your soul calm, console and renew you.

Needed this today . . . have printed it out to put up on my wall for when I think everything, particularly church work, is pointless.
