God of compassion
Holy spirit that binds us all in one human family
Blessed network of connections that interweaves one and another into wholeness
Let us never tire of reaching out and holding close the lives of our neighbors
Let us bear, joyfully, the weight of their sorrows, as well as the lightness of their joys
When we ache from loneliness and isolation, may we find our healing in being the comfort to someone else’s loneliness and isolation.
For there is no separation in your universalism
There is no outside in your everywhere
There is no cut-off, or barrier, or unreachable place
All existence is here, where we are, where you are.

And now we breathe into that atmosphere of belonging
We nestle into the blanket of fellow-feeling
We feel again that love that lies at the center
And that center that is all that is.
