Sculptor of Creation, whose hands shape our lives,
Touch us in this time of silence. Remind us before we sweep away the unwanted, shake away the useless, and throw away the filth that once you fashioned us by the dust of the earth. Maybe we too quickly discard the dirt that could heal us. Hold us until we give way to your creative power. Reshape us by your love. Help us to experience what we once thought was death,  become new  life. Amen.
