May the Spirit of Silence open our hearts to God’s transforming love;
May the Spirit of Compassion help us to feel for the sufferings of others;
May the Spirit of Love melt the cold hearts of those who trample on human rights;
May the Spirit of Beauty teach us to treasure Mother Earth;
May the Spirit of Wisdom help us to learn from spiritual teachers of every faith;
May the Spirit of Patience and Endurance strengthen the oppressed and those who are exiled from their homes;
May the Spirit of Courage strengthen those who speak for those whose voice is never heard;
May the Spirit of Non-violence bring healing, peace and justice to those who live in countries torn apart by conflict;
May the Spirit of Unity help us to welcome people of every country and creed as brothers and sisters.
