Reverend Bradley’s Request

Open, Oh blessed Spirit,
the spiritual lives of my soul.
That I may be released from
the darkness over spreading me,
by the delusions of the outward senses.
That I may perceive and understand
those things Spiritual.

Reverend Jean Bradley taught Reverend Eugene Larr who taught me (TS Hall, @theStoicMedium).

For years, I’ve marveled at that comprehensive simplicity of this short prayer request by Rev. Bradely.

This request has served as an anchor, touchstone, koan, affirmation, intention, and/or aspirational goal for me, depending on my state of mind at the time.

All my love,
Rev, Terry
