This is the prayer I used on Sunday by Joyce Rupp in May I Have This Dance?. I commend the prayer as good way to start each day.
Beloved Dancer of my Heart, thank you for being a faithful presence and a loving partner on my journey of life. Your grace-filled movements continually teach me fresh inner dance steps. You invite me to trust you more fully as you direct my whole self to the music of continual growth.
Remind me often that the more easily I glide along with you, the freer my heart becomes. When my days hold distress and discouragement, encourage me to draw near to you. Move me gently across the dance floor of my unwanted experiences. Twirl me around joyfully when my heart yields to the wonder and delight found in positive events, loving people and the beauty of life. Guide me through the unknown steps of confusion and mystery-laden transitions when I am not sure which way to move.
I will listen to your invitation as you daily invite me to join you in partnership. May my inner footsteps be ever more in sync with yours. Each day as your voice calls to me through the melody of your love, I will respond: “Yes, I want to be one with you, Beloved Dancer of my Heart. Come, be my partner. I will follow where you lead.” Amen.
Blessings, Fr. Lee+
