When the World Is Babbling 'Round Us

When we fail to hear you call us, when we turn and run away until evil times befall us, causing us to stop and pray, find us, forgive us, O God. Let your holy spirit enter into hearts on wings of dove. Let your will be at the center of our lives afire with love. Find us, and fill us, O God. Make us one with Christ in caring for the outcast and the lost, that in joyful, selfless sharing we may never count the cost. Find us, and form us, O God.
