Teach Us To Pray

Seeing the Face of Jesus

Season of goodness in prayer

There are moments throughout our day where we feel the sacredness, where the divine inside connects with the divine in another.  Psalm 27:7-9 says it beautifully: “Here, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!

“You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek.’ Hide not your face from me.”  As we see the face of God in our neighbor our interactions change. We become move loving. Let’s praise God for showing his face through love which is truth and beauty, today. 

Dear God, 

please reveal to us your sublime beauty

that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere,

so that we will never again feel frightened.

My divine love, my love,

please let us touch

your face.

– St. Francis of Assisi
