Reflection
Disturb us, O Lord,
When we are too well pleased with ourselves;
When our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little;
When we have arrived safely because we sailed too close to the shore.
Stir us, O Lord. To dare more boldly;
To venture more seas, where storms shall show your mastery
Where losing sight of land we shall find the stars.
In the name of him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes and invited the brave to follow him. Amen
