Courage to pray Easter prayers, poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin Searching for the words, the courage to pray enters my life. Like an arrow, the declaration of thanksgiving comes and I say aloud, moving my lips: Like promise, like heart song, like breath that is in me--speak. My friend the monk advises: speak. So trying short notes, with courage of soul, speak I do. There is just the two of us; so I believe: God in Christ, Holy Spirit, for it is courage brought to the self through the grace of God, I pray. Like an arrow, the words go heavenward.
