Mess

This week at Assisi's journal club, our art therapists gave a thought provoking talk on mess-making in palliative care. It was indeed a messy week but this is what I discovered!

Making a mess amidst the stress of miscellaneous cares and meandering snares, feeling a mess amidst the restless quest to live and lift the prayer of St Francis, best declare in despair that we face a mess unless God takes our share and state of affairs and spares us from the human shame of falling short because His mercy has on the Cross bear all the mess, all the mess, all the mess. 

Instrument of peace
Sow love not hatred
Pardon injury
Faith above doubt
Hope in despair
Lighten darkness
Seek joy in sadness
Console, understand, love, give, forgive and die to self
Let go and let God

Mess makes
Us meek
To seek
God
