I Stole His Prayer

The beautiful, new prayer for Lambeth at the top of the sidebar is by Paul, the Byzigenous Buddhapalian. It suits me better than the other, so I stole it from him. It can't be wrong to steal a prayer, can it?

  1. Stealing is stealing regardless of whether it's a group of words or a 16 caret Blue Diamond.

    The latter would be almost worth the consequences.

  2. David, surely not. Paul won't mind. I don't claim to have written the prayer. I give him full credit.

  3. Prayers are in the public domain.

    +Maya agrees with me.

  4. Prayers belong to the Spirit who inspires them and to all creation. Everyone is welcome to borrow any of mine at any time. Attribution is nice (and requested for big-ticket items like eucharistic prayers). Share all that is good.

    Mimi knew I'd be honored.

  5. Stealing means taking something away from someone else who as a consequence no longer has it.
    What you did is copy the prayer, and that’s a wonderful thing to do.

  6. Paul, thanks. I knew you'd say something lovely. And since +Maya approves, there's no more to be said.

    Erika, the "stole" was an attention-getter - always nice in the title of a post. "Borrowed" would have been more accurate.

    I should have known your verbal reasoning was as sharp as ever!

  9. If +Maya and the lovely dogs agree then it has to be A-OK.

    I love the charming repartee here. It makes me smile (something we all know I have not been doing enough of this week).

    I just loves y'all.

  10. Paul, what can I say? We loves ya back.

    How do you like Bishop Barahona's words on the Windsor Report? Nice, huh?
