Let us pause in reverence before the gift of self, a gift freely given by God, the Creator. Let us pause in reverence before the mystery of the presence, the near and far reality of God. Let us pause in reverence before the gift of human purpose by which we would approach the mystery of God with deeds. Let us pause in reverence before the gift of life and the meaning of our being in this nexus of time's history. Let there be a divine reason for our presence so that the lives we touch may know a goodness and the days we live may be brighter for our compassion. And if our names be forgotten by those we serve, then at least may our works evoke an eternal amen. And let faith be to us life and joy, let it be a voice of renewing challenge to the best we have and may be; let faith be for us a dissatisfaction with things that are; let faith bid us serve more eagerly the true and the right. Let faith be the sorrow that opens for us the way of sympathy, understanding and service to suffering humanity. Let faith be to us the wonder and lure of that which is only partly known and understood. Let it be an awe in the glories of nature's majesty and beauty and a heart that rejoices in deeds of kindness and of courage. Let our faith be for us hope and purpose and the discovery of opportunities to express our best through our daily tasks, both large and small. And let us say, Amen.
