Prayer For Blessing

 

O high and all-powerful sustainer of our bodies,

Of our consciousness, of our selves,

And of this, your universe--

We ask you once more to bless us.

May your kiss of blessing mark out meeting and our day.

May it be a prelude to a larger outpouring of blessings.

May we be alert today to receiving your gifts, and

To the beauty and grace of our body—

May we deepen our understanding of the great dignity

With which we are endowed, and

The sharp responsibility that we have for caring

For this dignity, for our body, and

For your wondrous and complex gifts of body, earth, water, and air.

 

Amen.
