Prayer Offered for August 17, 2016

     We awaken in our time to a universe which is holy,

     to creation, which is not an event in the past, but a living event of the present. 

     We enter a new mode of human presence where we are not merely observers, but where each of us is a participant in this moment of evolution.

     Gracious, Gentle Spirit of Love, Your energy permeates the universe, igniting Earth with your goodness, truth, and beauty. Open our minds and hearts to an ever-deeper awareness of our interconnectedness with you, each other, and all creation. May we experience your unique presence within the sacred web of creation.—AMEN.
