Prayers : “Many of the past generation and many of today...”
Also appropriate as Other Readings
Many of the past generation and many of today
have found three abiding values in
prayer:
the quiet meditation on life,
the reaching out toward the universal
and the infinite,
and the courageous facing of one's profoundest wishes.
Let parents sense and share with their children
the glory and mystery of
everyday things.
Let them look with sympathy upon humanity's age-long
dilemmas.
Let no questions be taboo.
The next generation can ill afford
to have the deeper values
deleted from the book of life.
