Room at the Table - Meditation and Prayers

Meditation

 

There’s room at the table

 

There’s room at the table for loss

there’s room at the table for doubt

there’s room at the table for hurt

there’s room at the table for you.

 

There’s room at the table for scepticism

there’s room at the table for unease

there’s room at the table for failure

there’s room at the table for me.

 

There’s room at the table for third and fourth chances.

there’s room at the table for a difference of opinion

there’s room at the table for disagreement

there’s room at the table for us.

 

There’s room at the table for hesitation

there’s room at the table for questioning

there’s room at the table for honesty

there’s room at the table for everyone.

 

There’s room at the table for hope

there’s room at the table for sorrow

there’s room at the table for love

there’s room at the table for you.

 

James Cathcart

 

Prayers

 

Let us pray:

 

Father, 

We thank you for the world you have made

For the rich diversity within your creation

We thank you for the colour and vibrancy of life all around us

Help us to be life-givers,

To be life-lovers

And the example of your love throughout your world

 

Amen.

 

Let us pray:

 

Lord God, you have the power to make all things new,

Break into our thoughts

Break into our traditions

Expand our understanding of your Word

Bringing renewed hope to the darkness of this time

Amen
