\"\"<\/a>For the expanding grandeur of Creation, worlds known and unknown, galaxies beyond galaxies, filling us with awe and challenging our imaginations;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For this fragile planet earth, its times and tides, its sunsets and seasons;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the joy of human life, its wonders and surprises, its hopes and achievements;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For human community, our common past and future hope, our oneness transcending all separation, our capacity to work for peace and justice in the midst of hostility and oppression;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For high hopes and noble causes, for faith without fanaticism, for understanding of views not shared;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For all who have labored and suffered for a fairer world, who have lived so that others might live in dignity and freedom;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

For human liberties and sacred rites, for opportunities to change and grow, to affirm and choose;
\nWe give thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

We pray that we may live not by our fears but by our hopes, not by our words but by our deeds.<\/p>\n

We give thanks for these and for the bounty before us.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
