Shepherd's Fool

Father to Thee I raise my whole being

– a vessel emptied of self.  Accept, Lord,

this my emptiness, and so fill me with

Thyself – Thy Light, Thy Love, Thy

Life – that these Thy Precious Gifts

may radiate through me and over-

flow the chalice of my heart into

the hearts of all with whom I

come into contact this day,

revealing unto them

the beauty of

Thy Joy

and

Wholeness

and

the

serenity

of Thy Peace

which nothing can destroy.
