Leader: Blessed be God, the Source of all Being. People: Blessed be God, the Breath of the Universe, the Wisdom behind Nature and the Scriptures. Leader: Blessed be God, the Way of Reconciliation and Healing.
When Man from Eden new-cast out then tore at Earth and ripped Her coal and iron, her oil and gold, his melancholy tipped The world toward devastated blight, toward envy, hatred, wars. They turned sweet hills to desert wastes and pocked the Earth with sores.
The Great Thanksgiving
It is right and a good and joyful thing to give thanks to you always, Creator God, because you have made the world in all its complexity.
We look to experience the unknowable Power, The Power behind the world of knowable things.
