Spirit of life, Great Immensity of Love
that holds all:
This life can be so hard.
There is so much pain,
so much suffering
everywhere we look.
How can we stand it?
How can we manage?
Perhaps by being here, together.
By breathing together.
Perhaps by singing together.
By taking action, together.
Perhaps together we can find our power.
Spirit of Life, when we feel small and helpless
Help us know the great power that is ours
if only we will open ourselves to it
Help us open our hearts and our minds–
help us open our whole beings!–
to the suffering that is here,
so we can meet it with love.
May we be such enormous vessels of love
such enormous channels for love
that neither hatred nor cruelty
can survive in our presence.
May we walk on this earth beaming with love
shining with love
bringing love into every situation we meet.
May we know our shared life
as one opportunity to love after another.
Spirit of life, source of all love:
We thank you for this life that we live.
Blessed be.
