Be opened

           Then looking up to heaven, he sighed
           and said to him, ‘Ephphatha’, that is, ‘Be opened.’

                         —Mark 7.34

May my ears be opened,
that I may hear others truly,
and listen with loving attentiveness.

May the ears of my spirit be opened,
open to hear your murmuring
in ordinary things.

May my mind be opened,
open to what may seem too miraculous,
open to change.

May my heart be opened,
in trust and hope open to your grace
around me and within me.

May heaven be opened,
that there be no barrier
between me and the holy.

May all of life be opened,
open to your grace, open to the miracle
that is about to happen.
