Dear Father-Mother,
Help us all to know Your love
and express it to one another
– with no one excluded,
no one left out,
no one on the outside,
and no one without.
May your love thaw
the hearts frozen with fear,
and numbed with hate –
may all creation feel You here.
May we wake to see a new day
where we see we all are one –
cells of the same cosmic Body –
rays of the same Sun.
