Lord..
Remember not only the men and women of good will
but all those of ill will.
Do not only remember all the sufferings they have subjected us to.
Remember the fruits we brought forth thanks to this suffering –
Our comradeship
Our loyalty
Our humility
Our courage and generosity,
the greatness of heart that all of this inspired.And when they come to judgement,
let all those fruits we have borne
be their reward
and their forgiveness.
Amen

ReplyDeleteSuch beauty and humility...........
