Joy of Worship in the Temple
Opening Prayer: Mary Brandon
My soul will not be quieted.
It is a restless seeker for the Love that only it remembers from the womb.
When, my Beloved, will I see your face and feel your presence within me?
With gratitude and love I extol your steadfast hold of me as I walk and rest throughout the day and night.
Beloved, let not my fear and sorrow of these times keep me from radiating your light.
Strengthen and guide me dearest Creator and Oneness of all things. In you, I hope. (Psalm 42- Reinterpreted in a Pandemic, Deven Horne)
Reading: Phillis Sheppard
The Joy of Worship in the Temple
How glorious is your dwelling place,
O Blessed Architect of the Universe!
My soul longs, yes aches for the abode of the Beloved;
All that is within me sings for joy to the living Heart of Love!
Even as the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nesting place,
where its young are raised within your majestic creation,
You invite us to dwell within your Heart.
Blessed are they whose hearts are filled with love,
who sing praises to You with grateful hearts!
Blessed are they who put their strength in You,
who choose to share the joy and sorrows of the world.
They do not give way to fear or doubt;
they are quickened by Divine Light and Power;
they dwell within the peace of the Most High.
They go from strength to strength and live with integrity.
Psalm 84 Nan C. Merrill
Silent Reflection
Intentions: Ann Bayly
Warrior-Spirit Prayer of Awakening. . . . Response – May it be so.
May all beings be granted with the strength, determination and wisdom to extinguish anger and reject violence as a way. Response – May it be so.
May all suffering cease and may I seek, find, and fully realize the love and compassion that already lives within me and allow them to inspire and permeate my every action. Response – May it be so.
May I exercise the precious gift of choice and the power to change [as] that which makes me uniquely human and is the only true path to liberation. Response – May it be so.
May I swiftly reach complete, effortless freedom so that my fearless, unhindered action be of benefit to all. Response – May it be so.
May I lead the life of a warrior. Response – May it be so.
Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Sensei

Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Song – Vox Luminis, Psalm 84, Zsuzsi Toth (soprano) (30.10 -33.55)
