Prayer for Sacred Community
Blessed One, eternal Source and Lord of creation, sustainer of all worlds. you embrace the whole cosmos within yourself, for everything exists in you.
Let your cosmic winds come and breathe your everlasting Spirit on us. Let us inhale you, divine Spirit and be inspired.
Enlighten us in your truth. Pour your grace into our hearts. Wipe away our sin and all negativity. Transform us into your Love, and let us radiate that Love to all others.
Inflame us with your unending life. Dissolve our limited way of being. Elevate us into your divine Life. Give us the capacity to share that Life with everyone.
Shape us in your wisdom. Grant us your gentle and healing sensitivity towards all creatures.
Give us your joy and laughter. Let us become that divine wisdom, sensitivity, laughter and joy for all beings.
Let us realize fully that we are members of that Sacred Community with all humankind, with other species, with Nature, and the entire cosmos.
Grant us a heart that can embrace them all in you. Let us be in communion with you forever in the bliss of that Love, the Love that Dante knew so well, that "moves the sun and other stars."
