Wisdom bless us, keep us, and guide us along the steadfastly merciful way. Though we are living in bitter conditions, though our spirits are brittle, though all that is sweet and life affirming seems absent, frozen, and buried, still we have before us the miracle of this day. Wisdom bless us, keep us, and guide us along the steadfastly merciful way. We need good cheer and steady encouragement; may we lend that to one another and to every stranger we meet, and discover the gift of that cheer and encouragement increasing by being shared. Wisdom bless us, keep us, and guide us along the steadfastly merciful way. We love distractions and give thanks for the ways they ease our worries and absent us from our griefs; may we use those distractions wisely and remember to carry on the steady work of hopeful change, though no headway is apparent, though losses abound. Wisdom bless us, keep us, and guide us along the steadfastly merciful way. Here we are called into this new day. May we go into it whole heartedly, ready and on the mercy road. Amen.
