God of my childhood
and my call,
make me a window, not a wall,
So like an icon,
may I be
a sign of love's transparency,
and through the love that lives in me,
proclaim your lasting love for all.

From "God of My Childhood" (c) Medical Mission Sisters 1990

O Holy One of Blessing,
let Your love shine through me to all I meet this day.
Amen.
