Branson’s grandfather was ill,
and would be going into surgery the next day. His catechist asked the
6-year-old if he would like to sit at the prayer table together. Her own
prayers for his grandfather were offered in silence- as she didn't want to
influence the words of his own prayer offering. After a significant period of
silence he opened his mouth and the following words came forth:
Let the Lord be with you.
Christ's name, the Lord, with
love and care.
Be with my grandfather and all
those who need you.
When I look at this candle I
can see you, Lord,
But the only thing that is in
my heart is you, and the earth.
On earth, I see you in every
rock and stone.
Make sure that the earth is in
your heart and all people.
Amen.
