struggle may seem the opposite of strength,
yet even the strong may struggle,
thinking of ways to exceed requires
building on strengths more than
deficits,
pride may reveal difficulty
a place of weakness great,
for it is in the prideful moment that
boastfulness turns us upside down,
may weakness guide you to places of the heart,
places of new trust, new hope, new sources beyond
self and vanity,
may the least one that is near be met with the
abundance needed to raise them up and supply
their needs
may we see the reflection of our nature in those
who cannot 'do' for themselves when we give
ourselves for others.
may we love the unlovable for they are our
brother, sister, mother, and father too.
as the group sees the treatment of the weak,
may everyone rest in comfort that they too
shall be well received.
may weakness guide us with the tender care
of a loving parent to the sharing of inner gifts
of divine healing
may the prophets words ring true, strength made
perfect in weakness and the children's song become
the mantra of a generation, "I am weak but he is strong"
