Community
O! Thou Mother/Father God,
Creator of all beings, of all worlds and of all times,
We pray to look beyond the small variations among ourselves
That distinguishes one from another in the vastness of Your creation.
May we focus not on the variance in our history,
Our languages, our customs, our imperfect laws,
But seek to enjoy the banquet of community that
You have laid before us.
May we see our human variety as an invitation
To feast and celebrate!
With humbleness,
May I face everyone with compassion.
Grant me the heart and wisdom to serve the best
In everyone.
May I abide in true community,
With devotion to enlightened life.
May I endeavor in every way for a better world,
For the generations to come.
May I abide in the energy of the universe as
The source of wisdom and opportunity.
Empowered by Your grace,
May I share the wisdom of life and death
In true community.
