Let us still our minds
And be in quiet peace
With that all pervading spirit of love
That moves through this room
And through each of us.
Let us feel the gentle, calming touch of the holy
And feel at home in ourselves
Comfortable in our chairs
Comfortable in our bodies
Breathing lightly
Like a soft breeze
Our thoughts extend beyond ourselves
To touch with compassion
Every soul in this room
Comforting any silent pain
binding all wounds
Encouraging each anxious spirit
Extending further beyond this sanctuary
Into the neighborhood, our city, and beyond
We find we have gifts overflowing
To care for all the suffering
To love all the lonely
To heal all the hurting
To strengthen and the weak
Every person that receives our attention
Feels new life and hope
Every place that receives our notice
Begins to manifest a brighter future.
Our thoughts bestow blessings
Our dreams of peace begin to come true
Now we rest, for a moment
In the peace of this room
In the peace of our hearts
In the promise of this day
In the power of our love.
