    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

    Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

     

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

     

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

     

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

     

    Amen.

    Ezekiel 2:   Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.'   They are a defiant bunch. Whether or not they listen, at least they'll know that a prophet's been here.

    2 Corinthians 12:  At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that,  and then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

    Mark 6:    Jesus told them, "A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child."

    Lord Jesus Christ,

    who are called the Prince of Peace,

    who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

    who so often said, “Peace to you,”

    grant us peace.

    Make all men and women witnesses of

    truth, justice, and brotherly love.

    Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

    Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee

    and defend the great gift of peace.

    May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters.

    May longed-for peace blossom forth

    and reign always over us all.

    Amen.

    True?

     

    A scholar was bragging to a boatman about all the knowledge he had acquired. “Can you swim?” the boatman asked. “No,” the scholar replied…. “Then all of your knowledge is wasted,” replied the boatman, “because the boat is sinking.”

    Mark 11:  Hosanna!   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

    Isaiah 50: I gave my back to those who beat me,  my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;  my face I did not shield  from buffets and spitting.

    Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself,  taking the form of a slave,   coming in human likeness;  and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself,  becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

    Gethsemane  by Mary Oliver

     

    The grass never sleeps.

    Or the roses.

    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.

    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.

    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,

    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,

    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.

    Jesus said, wait with me.

    And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn't move,

    maybe the lake far away, where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.

    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not

    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,

    so utterly human, knowing this too

    must be a part of the story.

    True?

    Pocock paused and stepped back from the frame of the shell and put his hands on his hips, carefully studying the work he had so far done.  He said for him the craft of building a boat was like religion.  It wasn’t enough to master the technical details of it.  You had to give yourself up to it spiritually; you had to surrender yourself absolutely to it.  When you were done and walked away from the boat, you had to feel that you had left a piece of yourself behind in it forever, a bit of your heart.  He turned to Joe, “Rowing,” he said, “is like that.  And a lot of life is like that too, the parts that really matter anyway.”
