April 4, 2023
Eternal One,
Creator of the Universe,
You have created day and night,
Sun, moon, planets and stars
Endless galaxies in which we are
But a small part of all life, everywhere.
When we are inspired by Your teachings,
We have the power to open our eyes and
To recognize Your light within every human soul.
There should be no masters, no slaves,
But equals, partners, walking along a common path
Towards growth, achievement, cooperation, and freedom
Founded upon an underlying love that emanates from You.
We lament the divisions based in arrogance
By which some would lay claim to inherent superiority,
Sadly emulating ancient Pharaohs and autocrats of the distant past.
May we become prophets in our own time, like Moses and Miriam,
Leading people to liberation that leaves slavery behind
And offers a future filled with mutual respect, understanding, true joy and enduring hope.
Bless us with visions of liberty
As we remember crossing the sea, once again,
As one people
With One God as our guide and companion.
