Opening Prayer: Let us breathe deeply for the Holy One is in our next breath. Holy One you created our world so we could be one with you and all creation. We forget to hold your hand as we walk our path. We stumble and there you are picking us up and offering your hand once again. We will hold tight! Amen.
Namaste
A reading from Rumi
That Lives In Us. A Poem by Rumi
If you put your hands on this oar with me, they will never harm another, and they will come to find they hold everything you want.
If you put your hand on this oar with me, they would no longer lift anything to your mouth that might wound your precious land—that sacred earth that is your body.
If you put your soul against this oar with me, the power that made the universe will enter your sinew from a source not outside your limbs, but from a holy realm that lives in us.
If you put your heart against the earth with me, in serving every creature, our Beloved will enter you from our sacred realm and we will be, we will be happy.
Silent Reflection
Intentions: We bring to the table:
All those gathered here, for our Community, and for all of us on earth.
All our families- for those struggling with careers, with health issues.
All those suffering from mental illness, those who are grieving, and those who await surgery.
All those suffering from emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
All those who are in-need of fairness-those mistreated because of the color of their skin, sexual orientation, disability, size or gender.
All those who live in abject poverty and for those suffering the devastation of war.
All those suffering from earthquakes, famine, fires, floods and all environmental disasters.
All those who are suffering from cancer especially those we have on our prayer list.
All the medical staff who are doing their best to take care of Covid patients. May they find strength in you.
All our politicians who are at war with each other for the sake of power. May they lay their gauntlets down and do their best for our nation and world.
All of creation. May we take care of all that you have given us and may we take care of each other with loving kindness.
We pray for these and all the unspoken intentions in our hearts
Closing prayer: Holy One we brought those we love and those who are in-need of knowing they are loved to you tonight. Even in our forgetfulness we know you are holding each of them as we know you are holding each of us. We won’t let go. Please don’t let go. We are ever grateful. Amen
Closing Song: Dance Then Wherever You May Be
