#MorningPrayer Thursday 28th December 2023 - The Holy Inoocents

 #MorningPrayer

As we remember

the Holy Innocents, Lord,

massacred on the whim

of a jealous and fearful despot,

consumed by lust

for power and position,

turn our hearts

from the service of self

to the service of all;

from the thinness

of the ego,

to the expansiveness

of your love.
