Creator of the Universe,
Constant companion along our life’s journey,
Inspire us to serve others
Based on teachings passed down to us
That were treasured by our ancestors
So that we will
Love our neighbors as ourselves
Recognize Your light and Your image in every human being
Understand that we can be bearers of holiness
Model humility and respect for our .children, students, and peers
Extend our hands to help the stranger and people in need
Pursue truth and justice
Make peace where there is no peace
Offer insight to those who require guidance and direction
And engender a feeling of hope, even at times
When confidence and optimism elude us.
May our actions build a legacy
That will shine down through the generations
And further the sense of Your Oneness
Which envelops all people and our world
In a loving embrace.
