  • Summary

  • The world will never become whole

    So long as we pray for what we want.

    We must learn to pray for that which hurts.

    “O my Father, if it be possible,

    Let this cup pass from me:

    Nevertheless not as I will,

    But as thou wilt.”

    It appears that this is the example.

    And why? Because, while veiled in flesh,

    We do not know what is good for us or for the world.

    We have but two eyes, one life, one brain.

    And so we seek the will that is on high.

    And trust the eye that sees us all

    And the mind that knows

    What we can’t know.

    And this kind of prayer, the prayer of sacrifice

    Will change the world and turn it ‘round

    Into a thing that looks like heaven.
