Opening Meditation Song: Namaste by Mark Hayes
Namaste (youtube.com
Opening Prayer: In the name of Peace and Love and Grace Amen. Holy one, who is within, around and among us, we celebrate your many names. Your wisdom come, your will be done, unfolding from the depths within us. Each day you give us all that we need. You remind us of our limits, and we let go. You support us in our power, and we act with courage. For you are the dwelling place within us, the empowerment around us, and the celebration among us, Now and forever. Amen.
Miriam Therese Winter
Reading: By Theologian Wendy Wright
There is something in God and something in us that correspond. We come from, have our being in, and return to God. In the tradition of the heart, that correspondence is love. Love, not merely as sentiment or feeling, but love as the inner dynamism of God in God’s triune self. Love as the generative power that overcomes death. Love as self-donation, Love as the welcome of the “other” as another self. Love as the gravitational force that binds all disparate things together. Love as the fire that burns clean and as the balm that heals. Love as the vision that sees the integrity of both parts and whole. Love as source and end and the path between.
The tradition of the heart does not say merely that God loves us “because,” or that God’s love can be seen “in,” but that God is Love. And that God’s very essence truly in some small way might be encountered here and now.
Affirmations and Intentions:
May the God of Love see us in all our imperfections and hold out her arms in loving embrace of us.
May the God of Mercy see our failures and neglect of each other and the planet and show us the means for repair and healing.
May the God of Compassion watch over us in our sickness and aging and provide us with healing energy and touch.
May the God of patience and resilience see us in our quest and desire for living larger than we need and guide us in living wholly and in community with each other.
May the God of laughter and joy celebrate with us in our enjoyment of life and each other.
Silence to add your own intentions.
Closing Prayer: Glory and Joy be to Peace, and Love and Grace. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, World without End, Amen
Closing Song: One Love by Bob Marley
