Welcome to our weekly Moment of Oneness, a brief time out from our busy week to be together and pray together.

Tonight we begin by focusing our attention on the Holy Onw who is within around and among us. Our opening song, Holy Mystery by Monica Brown is a very simple mantra:

Holy Mystery. Sacred Presence. All embracing, Creator God. Gracious Spirit. Womb of all life. Ever gracious, most wondrous God. In this moment, in our being, We are one, we are one.

Opening Prayer 

Holy Mystery,
Unnamable One,
Breath of Life moving through galaxies and grain of sand,
You are closer to us than our own heartbeat
and wider than the farthest star.

You are womb and wellspring,
fire and tenderness,
silence deeper than words
and love stronger than fear.

You dwell in every body,
in every story,
in every cry for justice
and every whisper of hope.

When we try to name You,
our words fall short—
yet still You receive them
like a mother receiving the babble of her child.

In our longing, You are present.
In our questions, You are listening.
In our brokenness, You are mending.

Holy Mystery,
open our eyes to Your presence in one another.
Open our hearts to Your transforming love.
Make us vessels of compassion
in a world aching for wholeness.

Amen.

Prayers for Healing in Our Broken World

As a loving and united community, we pray:

For a world torn by violence and war,
that hearts hardened by fear may be softened,
and leaders may choose dialogue over destruction;

For all who suffer from poverty, hunger, and displacement,
that systems of injustice may be transformed
and that we may share our abundance with generosity;

For the healing of the Earth,
our common home wounded by greed and neglect,
that we may live more simply and reverently;

For women and girls whose voices are silenced,
that their wisdom may rise and reshape our communities
in justice and dignity;

For those carrying hidden wounds grief, addiction, loneliness, trauma
that they may encounter tenderness, safety, and hope;

For the Church and all faith communities,
that we may reflect radical welcome,
embodied mercy, and courageous truth;

For ourselves,
that where we are divided, we may become whole;
where we are fearful, we may become brave;
where we are weary, we may be renewed, Amen.
