Song: “From Wisdom Emerging* MUO #66

Centering Litany Logan Greenshaw, MDiv ‘21

One: To the merciful wonder of communal spaceAll: May we make the most of our presence

One: To the divine weightiness of lifeAll: May we live in earnest mystery

May we journey on with hopeOne: To the relentless gift of time

All: May we remember memories pastMay we relish moments now

May we recognize seasons to comeOne: To the ceaseless power of energy

All: May we harness our agencyMay we lean into the depths of sacred workMay we breathe out love onto one another

May we become while we yet be
