Holy One, who dances with stars
and sits by the side of the forgotten,
whether babbled by infants
or whispered in fading memories,
your name reminds us who we are.
may that Beloved Community
crafted in the hopes of your heart
become our family where we are
as we live in your hope, and
make justice our offering to you.
as you feed us with substance and spirit,
may we work so no one hungers.
and as you set aside your grudges
to forgive our every foolishness,
may we always choose to share mercy.
walk with us, so we will not follow
the pied pipers of seduction,
strengthen us so we will always
choose goodness over evil.
for the Beloved Community is our hope,
your humility is what strengthens our faith,
and your grace reveals
your true nature to us. Amen.
