For the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington 


Eternal One,

Soul of the Universe, 

Infuse us with the light of holiness 

That will reveal to us

The miracle of each sunrise, 

The awe embodied in each sunset, 

The possibility of waking up to Your vision for us

So that we will see ourselves and all members of the human family 

as part of the intricate connections within nature

A shared network of relationships 

Which can inspire us to fill our days with 

Cooperation 

Coordinated action

Confession and commemoration 

of past missteps and tragedies  

from which we can learn

And triumphs upon which we can build. 

You challenge us to fill this world with hope

With our efforts grounded in honesty and mutual respect

Which can lead us to reach out to each other 

With a sense of resolve and tenacity 

In a spirit of solidarity that transcends  

Divisions of our own creation. 

We praise You, whose Oneness draws us together 

In a circle of salvation and love.
