When I am liberated by silence,
when I am no longer involved
in the measurement of life, but in the living of it,
I can discover a form of prayer in which
there is effectively no distraction.
My whole life becomes a prayer.
My whole silence is full of prayer.
The world of silence in which I am immersed
contributes to my prayer.
                                    Thomas Merton


I am looking forward to the day when my whole life is a prayer.
Your life was a prayer
and you are my brilliant example of prayer in action.
I pray to live my life as a prayer.
I pray for your soul to be safe and peaceful, looking down on me
guiding me toward love.


Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
