O Lord,
O how many times,
some days,
does the temper flare,
and the desire to strike out,
lash,
hurt,
by word or deed
comes welling up.
O Lord,
teach me
when that moment comes
to lift it up to you,
my peace,
my light,
my hope,
and let your Spirit
speak the soothing words
deep into my soul
that I say the thing
that furthers your will,
and not mine.
Amen.
Homily of the Day
