Dear Godde,
Divine Lord and Lady of our hearts
We seek your presence to
Share our circle of prayer,
and further empower our intention,
as we raise our voices as One
On behalf of all beings, no exceptions.

The festival of Light, Imbolc, is upon us.
We prepare for the awakening
of the children of nature as the glorius
wonder that is the Sun, slowly returns
to Light our world.

We sense Mother Earth
as the quickening of fertility fills
the soil and she nurtures herself
as she prepares for the coming
Spring of new life.

Godde of our hearts and of this beauty,
Grant that our prayers be answered
In this time of turmoil and danger in our world;
that the true beauty and peace of life embrace us all
and those in need will suffer no more.

Where there is desperation and fear and
darkness...
Where there is hunger, pain and suffering...
Where there is homelessness, poverty and dis-ease...
In these places and in all places where there is need,
We shine Your Light as we pray,
bringing your glorious presence to all your children.

Bless those who ask and those who cannot ask.
May we be their voice.
Bless the world with love and compassion,
In honor of our beloved Ancestors.
Bless our planet and all who live here with Peace,
That Peace may be the legacy leave to our children.

We pray a special blessing for those who
commit to a life in your service as the
voices of prayer.
May 'all' their needs be met.
May they be blessed with the best of Your bounty.
May they always know the inspiration that they are to all.

Thank you for your blessed presence
and for the gift of life.
Where ever life may take us,
We know that we are One.
In perfect love and trust
As above, so below; as within, so without.
May Your blessing continue to be upon all!
Blessed Be...and so it is.
Amen.
