Oh timeless, eternal God, help us to look to the past with gratitude, and to the future with hope. Today we remember those who have gone before us here, who worked not for themselves alone but with a vision of building for the future a better world than they had known. Inspire in us a similar vision, that we, too, might labor for things beyond ourselves, that our lives may be dedicated to high purposes and the common good. Make us unafraid of hopes and dreams; release us from cynicism and despair. Teach us to be realistic about our limitations, but never to lose hope in our ability to transcend them.—AMEN.
