O great and glorious God, throughout the millennium humanity has turned to you and asked how can we live a life of meaning? Your sacred text teaches us that it is not through acquiring material wealth or social status. No. You have taught us that to live a life of meaning, a life imbued with holiness, we must strive not only to improve our own lot, but the lives of others as well. To care for the poor, the widow and the orphan, to remove stumbling blocks before the blind and create a society governed by fairness and compassion, this you have taught us is the path to meaning and holiness.
May the work of our hands and the meditations of our hearts be ever directed towards creating a better and more just world. May this be God’s will--AMEN.
