"Blessed Spirit of Life, help us find our center. Remind us of the people we long to be. Remind us of our best selves, our brightest selves, our most authentic selves, our deepest selves. Remind us of our beloved community and what we must do to build it well.

Blessed Spirit of Life in these strange and difficult times, these partisan times, these fearful times, these angry times, enable us to keep open the doors of our hearts, to forgive ourselves when we miss our mark, to apologize when we harm others, to return when we have strayed from our vision, to atone...enable us to begin again, to care again. Enable us, as if for the first time, to hear and be heard, to see and be seen, to know and be known, to love and be loved..." - The Rev. Josh Pawelek
