I shall pass through this world

But once.

Any good therefore that I can do

or any kindness that I can show

to any human being let me do it now.

Let me not defer or neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again.

Amen

Sharing in the work of God!

Lord, Creator God,
you made us in your own image to be creators too,
to share in your work of creation.
Bless our creative gifts, our inventiveness, our new technologies;
let our imaginations take us to new horizons,
yet undreamt…

Bless all who worship you,
almighty God,
from the rising of the sun to its setting:
from your goodness enrich us,
by your love inspire us,
by your Spirit guide us,
by your power protect us,
in your mercy
receive us,
now and always.
