In the midst of the anger and frustration is hope—hope that we are here, hope that a loving world is indeed possible, hope in the faith that love can and will triumph over hate.

We won’t know how the story ends until we get there, but we can decide what words we use to write those stories.

Create a chalice for someone before a hospital stay to remind them they are loved.

You must be willing / to dream a dream / that carries forward / your community

Let our rest be a resurrection. Let the veils be lifted so we can feel, see, taste, and smell the power of our rested selves.

Here in the quiet, may we lift up our hearts in gratitude for the gifts of our lives, pausing in thanksgiving.

Meet me in the heartbeat between what has been and what will be; meet me in the flicker of our eternal flame. We need not face this moment alone.

Spirit of Transformation, may our hearts break open and stretch out to join with the hearts of others who yearn for a freer world…

Spirit of Love, come alongside with all the holy nudges that we need, so we may live in such a way that we celebrate all the blessings that we have been given. So we may be the blessings in the world.

“Now and here, in this unlikely, perhaps un-replicated, gorgeous world, this shimmering, sorrowing world, we exist, together … We are here now, and we all belong. Beloved.”

May our time together honor all the hopes we hold within; may our time together bless us with the gifts of inspiration, comfort and renewal.

After the shattering, all that remains is another ordinary day.

Voice still and small, as we turn inward we listen for you. Deep inside all, this Easter morning, open our hearts to hear you in the figure of Jesus.

This prayer is designed to be woven into the song “Comfort Me,” #1002 in Singing the Journey.

Together we create a love energy more powerful than any force of oppression…

Lead us to the love that holds us all and is with us always; the love that can help us through the messy and necessary life-altering work of building movements across beliefs, across difference, for change that can endure.
