O God of wisdom and compassion,
The great 20th century theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr taught us that "nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
May it be Your will O God, to nurture our hope that our great works will continue on after we are gone. Bless us with the faith that what we find to be true, and good, and beautiful, will still be seen as such by those who come after us. And grant us O God, loving friends and companions along the way to help us find meaning and joy in the journey of life.
May this be God`s will.-AMEN.
