Recognizing that fear and need for security can prevent us from seeing and responding to that Presence which is always with us, we ask, "What will enable us to see more clearly the Holy Reality which surrounds us with undemanding and accepting love?"

Ever-present and surrounding Love,
help us to see you in all of your creation.
By respecting and looking with reverence on our world,
on one another and on our fellow creatures,
may we begin to let your love enrich us
and all that you have made.

May disrespect and misuse of your gifts
embodied in our judgments and need for power
be cleansed from our hearts and actions
so that we may see clearly that we are called
to embody your Presence in our world.
