Prayer Offered for May 7, 2026

For expanding grandeur of Creation, we give thanks this day.

For the fragile planet, our planet Earth, we give thanks this day.

For the joy of human life, its wonders and surprises, we give thanks.

For our human community, our oneness transcending all separation, we give thanks this day.

And we pray for faith without fanaticism, for understanding of views not shared.

We pray for all who labor and suffer for a fairer world.

We pray that we live, not by fears, but by our hopes, not by our words but by our deeds. Also let us pray for our mothers and our grandmothers on this Mother’s Day.—AMEN.

_{(Reverend O. Eugene Pickett, Unitarian Universalist)}
