Here’s a prayer to the Lord of
laughter. It was written by Bruce
Prewer.
Prayer
Lord of laughter, open our eyes
to see through the
absurdities of this brazen
century and to confront
them with good humour rather than
faithless despair.
Help us to smile while the
wealthy worry or the
politicians strut and dissemble.
Give us the grace to chuckle at
technological vain-glory
or the self-praise of the
entertainment industry.
When ignorance poses as dogmatic,
scientific wisdom,
or the devil’s slaves pretend to
be angels of light,
enable us to laugh heartily with
the faith and daring
that is born of your Easter
victory.
Lord of laughter, when we take
ourselves too seriously,
laugh at us until we come to our
senses.
For your love’s sake; Amen!
