Prayer Reflection: Which Three
(based on 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13)
"...Now faith, hope and live abide, these three..."
doubt moves in
and props its feet
at the hearth of my soul,
warming them
on the coals of my unbelief;
while faith
rents space
for a few days
in the summers of my life.
despair is the frayed,
soft corduroy jacket
that fits comfortably
on my shoulders
while hope
is a hair shirt
i resist wearing.
impatience is the face
i put on
each morning
in order to greet the world,
while love
is that mask
i wear occasionally,
removing it
when i look in the mirror,
not recognizing myself.
which three will abide in me, O God?
which three?
Amen.
