Sharing the Sacred
In URI we share the sacred with diverse voices, forms, practices and feelings. Every member of URI brings his and her unique expressions of prayer, meditation, ritual, and reflection. People with different beliefs and expressions create and enrich our community. Gard Jameson, a generous friend and member of the URI North America Leadership Council, teaches Chinese and Indian Philosophy at the University of Southern Nevada Las Vegas. Gard helped found and chairs the Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada Cooperation Circle. He recently offered his prayer as a gift.
blessed attitude
may my will always surrender
to the glorious and inspiring presence of God
humbly, gratefully to receive the grace
of unconditional love, unfailing forgiveness and matchless goodwill
may my yearning gently aspire
to a larger awareness of truth
to the incarnation of righteousness
to love mercy, to do justice, to walk humbly with God
may my meekness rest in the trust
of an unshakeable faith in God,
enduring all things through divine goodness
being patient and kind with all
may my heart and mind be pure
that I might have eyes to see
that I might have ears to hear
that still, small voice that whispers: I love you
