There being no objection, it appears below:                                                         
                                                                                                    
    Let us be at peace within ourselves.                                                            
                                                                                                    
      Let us accept that we are profoundly loved and need never be                                 
    afraid.                                                                                         
                                                                                                    
      Let us be aware of the source of being that is common to us                                  
    all and to all living creatures.                                                                
                                                                                                    
       Let us be filled with the presence of the great compassion                                  
    towards ourselves and towards all living beings.                                                
                                                                                                    
      Realizing that we are all nourished from the same source of                                  
     life, may we so live that others be not deprived of air, food,                                
    water, or shelter.                                                                              
                                                                                                    
     Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be a cause of suffering                                
    to one another.

    With humility let us pray for the establishment of peace in our                                
    hearts and on earth.                                                                            
                                                                                                    
      May God kindle in us the fire of love to bring us alive and                                  
    give warmth to the world.  Amen.
