This is a wonderful poem by Joyce Rupp (taken from Out of the Ordinary)
Awakened One
source of inner power
restorer of tombed vitality
giver of graced gusto
you who have been raised
from the cold stone of death
come and resurrect me
from my own entombment
repair what has weakened
in my spiritual endeavors
revive my mildewed
cobwebbed relationships
lift up my waning hope
when I wail with the world's pain
restore my sense of oneness
with all your creation
refresh my daily call
to embrace the sacred
to find you in every gesture
that dances with your heart
push back the stone
of self-centredness
untomb my generosity
renew my dedication
raise up my dilapidated dreams
restore my ancient union
resuscitate my burning desire
re-establish my priorities
so you become the Centre
of all I am and all I do
