Attentiveness
Expand my awareness, O God,
to others whom I will see today and tomorrow.
Help me to look for the signs of our common humanity
as we share our lives with each other.
Help me to listen to what my heart is saying and,
help me to listen to what others are saying to me.
May I hear both the words they speak
and the things they are really saying.
Sensitize me to the crying buried deep in the heart.
Remind me of your steadfast love
and help me to reflect your love to others.
