We enter this meeting house for kindness and comfort.
May rough-worn hands and aching backs be healed.

We enter this meeting house of hope for equality.
May those who labor to survive live to know justice.

We enter this meeting house of love and vocation.
May our bonds of solidarity be strengthened.

We enter this meeting house of courage and friendship.
May we proceed hand-in-hand toward freedom.

Note: The phrase "meeting house" can be replaced with "sanctuary."
