Episode 30: Thou Art There

Join Sumer as she creates a space for us to be present with ourselves and with God right where we are. Today’s episode features another prayer from Celtic prophet and Scottish clergyman George MacLeod. May these words be kind companions along your journey.

 

“ Almighty God…

Sun behind all suns,

soul within all souls…

Show to us in everything we touch and in everyone we meet

the continued assurance of thy presence round us,

lest ever we should think thee absent.

In all created things thou art there.

In every friend we have

the sunshine of thy presence is shown forth.

In every enemy that seems to cross our path,

thou art there within the cloud

to challenge us to love.

Show to us the glory in the grey.

Awake for us thy presence in the very storm

till all our joys are seen as thee

and all our trivial task emerge as priestly sacraments

in the universal temple of thy love.”
