Anonymous Blessing in the Desert Labyrinth

At a desert monastery I had the opportunity to walk a labyrinth made of stones surrounded by exotic flora. I was completely alone, but far from lonely, enchanted by the mysterious beauty and contradiction of uninviting, captivating cacti amid the craggy landscape.

I wanted to empty myself of the accumulated cares and worries of ordinary life as I pursued the circuitous path marked by indigenous rock. With each step closer to the center, I offered the prayer I have prayed daily.

“Empty me of all that stands between You and me that I might be filled with Your imagination, desire, love, and will. Help me to be an effective instrument of all that You intend.”

I exhaled worry and breathed in gratitude.

“Prayer is an act of love.”

—St. Teresa of Avila
