Two Blessings
These blessings were penned for The Table MPLS’s Pride 2024 “Pride Blessings”
A blessing for queer/trans folks
Queerly Beloved,
Made whole and very good
May you never stop growing
Sprouting new flowers & buds
Even when hate tries to prune away your fabulous
May you experience the warmth of abundant love
And never shrink away
May you be empowered to persist
May you be nurtured to flourish
May you always remember you are beloved
And beloved you belong
Amen.
A blessing for parents of queer/trans children & youth
May you find clarity in the chaos
& hope amidst the fear
May you find patience and joy in this bumpy ride
May you always remember to find the humor
In this beautiful, fabulous mess
May you feel empowered to ask for help
And humble enough to accept it
And may you always remember you & your family are beloved
And beloved parent, your family belongs.
Amen.
