November 5, 2024
Creator of the Universe,
Source of wisdom, reservoir of strength,
How do You want us to see one another?
If it is with Your sight,
It must be that we should recognize
That a touch of Your spirit resides in each of us
And, because of that, we must act as if
We are Your partners in preserving this world.
It must be that we should acknowledge Your presence
In the eyes and souls of other people,
Whether neighbor or stranger,
So that we would know that if we denigrate anyone,
We are diminishing You,
And so that if we support our neighbors on this planet
with respect, with compassion, and with love,
We are raising You up through raising them up.
Because You have fashioned us in Your image,
Every day, may we speak as if our voice is Yours.
May we reach out as if our hands are Yours.
May we bask in the light of Your Oneness
So that we will truly experience
fulfillment, joy and peace
Which all comes from You.
