Prayer of Blessing the Work of Our Hands


Blessed be the works of your hands,
O Holy One.
Blessed be these hands that have
touched life.
Blessed be these hands that have
nurtured creativity.
Blessed be these hands that have held pain.
Blessed be these hands that have
embraced with passion.
Blessed be these hands that have
tended gardens.
Blessed be these hands that have
closed in anger.
Blessed be these hands that have
planted new seeds.
Blessed be these hands that have
cleaned, washed, mopped, scrubbed.
Blessed be these hands that are wrinkled and
scarred from doing justice.
Blessed be these hands that have reached out
and been received.
Blessed be these hands that hold the
promise of the future.
Blessed be the works of your hands,
O Holy One.
