In respect for all of the religious and spiritual traditions here, I invite you into a time of reflection and spaciousness as I pray: Holy One, we gather this Tuesday morning at the end of March with rain and misty fog all around us. We gather as one house this day, and we take a moment to pause with gratitude and awe for the moments of yesterday, this moment, and the moments to come. 2016-03-29 House Journal Page 1966 I pray for your playful, loving presence to draw this house together in the spirit of love, glorious diversity, and relationship. Be with them, God, as they do their work. I pray that you are also with their loved ones. This rainy, dreary day, God, I pray that you burst forth with your rays of sunshine in our hearts, bringing contentment, bringing life, bringing hope. I pray that you continue to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the ongoing needs of humanity. Let your rays of light shine on our blind spots. Thank you, God, for this moment, this space, this time to pause and reflect. All this I pray in the name of your love alive here in this place. Amen.
