Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, RSM:

G.K. Chesterton says: “We are all in the same boat, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty”.

Loving God, some would say we are not in the same boat, but that we are in the same ocean.

In the urgency of our world context, below the violence and turbulence of the waves, help us discover the flow of our connectedness.

May our growing consciousness of the interdependence among us and with all creation, galvanize us in that loyalty that we owe to one another, a loyalty of faith that entrusts our fears to the goodness of those who love unconditionally, a loyalty of hope that impels us to work for a sustainable future, and a loyalty of love that allows us to be faithful to each other, regardless of perceived differences.

For we know that Your love excludes no one.—AMEN.
