First Reading

From: Sacred Earth Sacred Soul, by John Philip Newell

Deep in the Celtic wisdom tradition is the belief that just as new life rises from the earth every spring, so new vision is forever trying to come forth from the human soul.  Anything that is of God, even though pushed to the ground, will come forth again.   This way of seeing is rising afresh among us in our awareness of the earth, the creatures and our growing consciousness of life’s essential oneness. 

Second Reading

We who are alive today  

By Jan Phillips

We who are alive today are the eyes and ears,

the hands and feet of the Creative Force.

We are Thought Incarnate, Word made flesh, Love materialized.

We are the consciousness of the earth:

the universe knowing itself, seeing itself, singing to itself.

We are prophets of a new time, makers of a new myth,

Where our Source dwells not on some heavenly throne

But in the very breath of living things: among us and within us.

We are made of heaven and earth, starlight and clay,

Minerals and meteor dust.

We are the Infinite Wave transformed into finite particles,

spacetime compressed into the speck of a lifetime.

As the Cosmos multiplies and expands forever outward

So does it expand forever inward

evolving us into beings of higher consciousness.

We who are alive today came here with a purpose,

Are in service to a mission to extend mercy, to bring forth justice,

To re-member ourselves and converge as one.

We are creating tomorrow with our thoughts and words.

We are shaping ourselves and families, our communities and cities,

Our cultures and civilization by what we do and fail to do.

We are ascending into our potential, evolving into our Godness,

Co-creating the Whole that is the sum of our parts.

We who are alive today: Let us sing out that the heaven we seek 

Is already around us, that whenever we look,

The Holy One is there, looking right back.

No matter what storms batter and buffet us, let us not lose heart,

For we are One with All and life holds us firmly in the palm of its Hand.

Closing Prayer:

Holy One, you call us to be Easter people.  May we use the gift of our imagination to dream into being a new Spirit filled uprising of love, compassion and healing for our world.  Amen
