Blessed are those who have confessed

their erring ways,

who have asked for forgiveness.

Blessed are those whose burdens

have been lifted,

who are able to respond with love.

For the Beloved walks with them and

speaks to them in the Silence;

With mercy and compassion, they

are held in Love’s heart;

All who are at one with Love will

live in peace and harmony.

from Psalms for Praying by Nan Merrill
