Spirit of God, we long to mend the broken circle.
To heal the fractures in the world around us and within our own souls.
To transform those parts of ourselves that block our contact with our deepest realities, and with the deepest most sacred dimensions of all other beings.
Spirit of God, we long to see reality.
To contact our deepest yearning for a world pulsating with justice and truth.
To create a society where all sit down at the Great Banquet, where all persons eat until they are full.
Spirit of God, we long to discover anew the courage deep within us.
To see and to listen, to discover our true selves.
To take steps to stop the cycles of violence—in our homes, in our workplaces, in our neighborhoods, in our country, and in our whole world.—AMEN.
