Unitarian and Universalist

We give thanks today for the gifts of our Unitarian faith:
That human beings are powerful and good
That we are capable of making joy in our own lives
And in changing the world around us for the better.

And we give thanks today for the gifts of our Universalist faith:
That we are upheld by an irresistible force of love
That all the universe is a single creation
And that all existence will eventually find its way to salvation.

We give thanks for a faith that affirms our power, when we feel powerful,
And that offers us comfort and strength from sources beyond our own when we’re feeling weak and afraid.

With thanks for a faith sufficient to all the times of our lives, we go forward today into our lives, equipped to live lies of peace, love, and justice, in every situation we find ourselves.

May it be so.
