God,

You made this world with a Bang: a million stars for each grain of sand.  You gave this Earth an Eve with so many stars above that each soul since might claim a unique galaxy.

You came to this Earth in the form of man, your Son, to guide us and give us values by which to live.  At His birth a bright star shone and at His death on a cross, we were there for the kill. We grieve for this.  Your Holy Spirit is with us: gently when we pray, the Lord himself as we suffer and die.

                                       By word and deed, we promise that:

We shall neither steal lives, spouses, families, or property, surrender to fear or greed, nor profane Your Name.      

We shall confess our sins, honor our parents, and as best we can love and care for all; and with them, and past and present saints, we shall commune with You and others and while doing so, have our trespasses forgiven as we forgive those who trespass against us.

We shall tend and care for the Earth; we shall recycle our wastes, not foul this Earth nor cause the extinction of its native plant and animal species; we shall treat the Earth as if it is Heaven.  We shall read the Gospels as truth, the Good Book for eternal truths, and each week hold a day holy.

We shall honor others’ diversity, differences, and rights for equal opportunity in a world where physical and mental abilities differ, knowing that our souls are of equal value.

We pray that You will give us the tools to teach and prepare the young so that the next child, and the next of the next, will live on this Earth and other worlds to come. We accept that our ultimate purpose and responsibilities are found in the question, “How the coming generation shall continue to live?” and

When it is our time, we pray that You shall judge our souls worthy to sing with You in Infinite Space and Time.

Touch our hearts oh God!
