help of the helpless

healing in your wings,
my sisters' hands, the trees, and
in the songs of whales

Prayer Shawls

Our hearts are full of so many things...sometimes we just need a listening ear, another heart that will receive what we have to pour out. Often, there is nothing to be done about these things except to listen, to receive.

One thing I have appreciated being able to do for someone who is ill or grieving, or who is afraid for someone else who is sick: offer them a prayer shawl. Our Knitters and Spinners spend many prayerful hours knitting shawls for just this purpose...to give to someone who is suffering for whatever reason. And they are received with such gratitude.

I give thanks for all our Priory Knitters and Spinners who knit prayers of comfort and healing into warm shawls, pouring out their love and energy for others. Amen.
