(’The Prayer Of The Chalice’ ~ by Francis Nuttall)
Father, to Thee I raise my whole being
~a vessel emptied of self. Accept,Lord
this my emptiness, and so fill me with
Thyself ~~ Thy Light, Thy Love, Thy
Life ~~ that these Thy precious Gifts
may radiate through me and over~
flow the chalice of my heart unto
the hearts of all with whom I
come in contact this day~
revealing unto them
the beauty of
Thy Joy
and
Wholeness
and
the
serenity
of Thy Peace
which nothing can destroy.

Marc, this is beautiful. Thank you for finding it. I’m still working on being the empty vessel. Easier some days than others.
Blessings to you,
Gayle
Hi Gayle! I’m so glad you like it, it is such a beautiful prayer!
A friend gifted it to me 15 or so years ago, and it’s been a mantra I’ve chosen to embody to the best of my ability ever since… it is truly powerfully transformational, as is all we embody!
Blessings and Love to you!

Sue, thank you so much for visiting! I’ve always felt it articulates the essence. By the way, based on your twitter bio, you may have interest in knowing this prayer was gifted to me by a friend who is Episcopalian
Blessings and Love to you.
