Costumes and masks

It's All Hallows' Eve, a night for costumes and masks
and, like every evening, a night to pray...

Lord,
help me not worry 
about my everyday costumes:
clothes don't make the man
and clothes don't make the woman...

It's how our hearts are dressed 
that makes us who we are...

Help me take off all the masks I wear
that hide from others (and myself)
the person you created me to be...

Help me find the goodness you see, Lord, 
behind our costumes and our masks:
help me find us as you've made us
and love what I might find...

Amen.
