Prayer for Enlightenment and Humility
6.07.04


O Holy God, who has caressed us into being,
Knitting each of us in our mother’s womb, and
Who has made us your people--
We who have been created to love and to praise you,
Offer you these noble gifts of mind and curiosity
With which you have blessed us.

We thank you for life, time, and space--
And for this holy place of sanctuary.
We thank you for this occasion to reflect upon your creation
And upon your presence in it.

We ask that you give us the grace
To see truth in your light, and the grace
To share our thoughts and insights with
Gentleness and graciousness.

Amen.


Jim Bolner, Sr.
