Aan die begin van hierdie week lees ek graag vir ons ‘n gebed voor van die Corrymeela gemeenskap. Dit is ’n Ierse-gemeenskap wat hulself vir vredesgesprekke tussen verskillende groepe en mense beywer:
God who walks with us in our darkness,
God who draws out our inner light:
Even in the brightness of day,
There is a limit to what one can see.
Our ignoranceand bias;
Our narrowed views and
Chosen positions prevent us
From seeing the whole,
And from seeing ourselves.
In the welcome
Of others’ perspectives
We gain greater sight.
May we fear neither
The uncertainty of night
Nor the exposure of day,
For in both we are known by you.
Amen
