Open our eyes to the mystery of your creation. Open our ears to the voices in the trees, Mother Earth, and all beings, so that we may hear their celebration. Draw us close, so we may feel your heartbeat. We bow to Life-giving Spirit in each other and celebrate you.
All-present God, thank you for this sacred time with you. Thank you for hearing our prayers and taking delight in us, your children. Thank you for the gentle touches, smiles, and laughter of others that remind us of the joy of being alive and bring healing to our bodies, minds, and souls.
You fill us to overflowing. You give us all we need to follow you today, and there is still so much left over. We experience your miracles, and you call us to keep giving, promising that your blessings will never cease. We rejoice together on this path as we continue to participate in your mystery.
