Holy Spirit of Community

Holy Spirit of Community
We feel ourselves sometimes so alone, and so small
Sometimes it feels we have been left forsaken by friends, by family, by our nation, by our God,

Help us to see that this is always an illusion.
Help us to see that each one of us stands at the center of a vast community.
Help us to see that we can reach out in any direction and find hands reaching back to grasp us.
Help us to understand the truth of our seventh principle that tells us of our place in an interdependent web of all existence of which we are also a part.

We give thanks for the blessing of this community
We give thanks for the ancestors of our faith who support us from the past
We give thanks for the future of this future who encourage us from the future.
We give thanks for the loving support of the spirit of universalism that brings us all to wholeness
And we give thanks for the truth of Unitarianism, that name our personal power, and call us good and able to make our world a better place for ourselves and for all.
