Pause for Prayer: HALLOWEEN 10/31

 
It's time for tricks or treats, Lord!
It's Halloween 
    - and I'm knocking at your door!

You see what's behind all the masks I wear
    so I haven't come in a costume:
        you see through my games,
        my pranks and charades, 
        my stunts and my antics,
        my capers and cons,
            foolishness, all - and sometimes worse...

So, I come with this Halloween prayer, Lord,
    a prayer for mercy and pardon 
    a plea for your healing forgiveness
for all my shenanigans, mischief and sins
    and the tricks I've tried to play on you
        - only duping myself and my neighbor...
 
I trust in your loving kindness, Lord
    so much so that I'm bold to say:
   ` "No tricks  - but a treat  I'll ask this year,
        the grace of a Halloween blessing:
    treat me with mercy, healing and peace
        on the eve of the feast of All Saints;
    and fill my arms, my heart and my soul
        with the sweetness and grace and joy...
 
Amen.
