Thank you, Father-Mother, for the
gift of yourself to us through others.
We pray for love and tolerance that we
may continue to grow in appreciation of
The beauty and goodness of this wonderful
gift you have bestowed upon us:
The gift of our sisters and brothers.
Lead us into wisdom.
Guide us to truth and inspire us to love,
that we may see more clearly
The closeness of Your presence in the
faces of those around us.
As Your Son, our Creator-Father, lived
a perfect life of service among us,
Help us to follow his example and love
one another as he loved us.
We look forward with joyful anticipation
to the fullness of the revelation of
community,
When we will sometime experience it in
your embrace on Paradise. Amen.

Loving Father, Tnder Mother,
You have blessed me with joy,
A warm happiness so deep as to define
serenity.
I pray to You not only in appreciation
but in continual wonder,
Of a small and simple thought that is
the foundation of my being:
You are always in me and I in You.
Matthew Klein
Dear God, we pray
That we may more faithfully cooperate
with the spirit of Your indwelling.
That we may more cheerfully endure
the tasks of Your emplacement.
That we may more faithfully carry out
the program of Your selection.
That we may more persistently tread
the paths of Your choosing.
That we maymore humbly receive credit
that may accrue as a result of your
ceaseless endeavors.
Let us not ever forget Your divine
affection and devotion for each and every
one of us.
And may we avail ourselves of Your
divine power and wisdom until the very
end, until the last earth struggle is over.
Adapted from an Adjuster’s admonition
(UB 110:7.10)
The poetry of my soul is drawn from
the well of human-divinity
Deep within this cavern of flesh flows
the true river of refreshment
Life-giving wine
Divine drinking in
Thinking in thoughts
Well water, well water
Water me well with Your divine wine
spirits of sages
wisdom of the ages
fountain of youth
fountain of truth
Building block, I am carved from the
rock of human-divinity
And the river within flows forth with
words and wishes like loaves and fishes
For Jesus lives inside of me with the
Father fragment guide I see my soul of
human-divinity
Watered well with words to tell of that
which dwells within my soul
The spirit and mind are intertwined
and God is the treasure at the heart
of the whole creation
the foundation
the source
From which spring the waters of wonderful
words that sing like birds
Winging through the air and angels
bringing answers to my prayer
His most precious love is everywhere
