When humans participate in ceremony, they enter a sacred space. Everything outside of that space shrivels in importance.Time takes on a different dimension.Emotions flow more freely.The bodies of participants become filled with the energy of life, and this energy reaches out and blesses the creation around them.
O Might Counselor, speak to us
within our hearts;
let your voice be heard.
And as we listen and heed your Word,
joy will be our song of thanks.
As You lead us into the Silence,
we become friends with solitude.
With trust in You, our lives become simple,
assurance and peace leaving
no room for fear.
All that we have is gift from You,
O Gracious Creator,
all that we are is Yours as well.
May we come to see that all
we give to others,
we give to ourselves and You.
