May the Great Mystery that we call God

keep alive in each one of us

the search for a Faith that is real;

a Faith that helps us to live happier lives

a Faith that gives us a fuller

meaning to life and the events of life;

Bring us to know the goodness that flows

from the heart of the universe,

and may we be expanded in heart and soul

by that goodness.  This is our prayer.
