Description

Scripture  

Psalm 46:5 (NRSVUE)  

God is in the midst of the city;  

it shall not be moved;  

God will help it when the morning dawns.




Refrain  

Even now, the center holds.




Quote / Poem  

Thomas Merton  

“There is in all visible things  

an invisible fecundity,  

a dimmed light,  

a hidden wholeness.  

This mysterious unity and integrity  

is wisdom, the mother of all things.  

There is in all things a hidden center,  

a point of stillness and truth.  

To live from that place—  

this is prayer.”
