Immanent and Transcendent

Good afternoon/evening

Prayers of a Pilgrim

Dear God, 

You are personal   

 like a spouse, child, friend, child, cat or a favourite flower,

Some theologians  ( I think it was Moltmann )   

refer to you , O God    as a ‘ God of the ditch.’

You are knowable  you listen to our prayers   

 and

    I can almost call you friend or neighbour,   

              you are so very close and intimate.

Then,    

        O God,           

  you are the opposite,             

    Transcendent                

     Unknowable                   

   Divine                     

   Distant Father                 

   Beyond the the bounds of the Universe       

     Omnipresent                           

    Omniscient. 

 Both, 

     far and near,     

   big and small   

      here, and not here     

in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

God of all mystery, 

 we offer to you our lives and our worship,   

           even when we do not, nor ever will, fully understand.                                                                              or comprehend. AMEN

Praying for peace all of over the world. AMEN

Fred
