Dear Eternal Spirit, You who move in song and silence, in dialogue and reflection— We offer gratitude for every place of worship where hearts gather, Not in uniformity, but in shared longing for truth, peace, and connection.
Bless the gatherings of this upcoming week, From cathedrals to synagogues, mosques to meetinghouses, From open-air chapels to quiet living rooms, May each space be saturated with Your presence, And may all who enter find rest, renewal, and belonging.
We lift up especially the Champaign-Urbana Society of Friends, As they prepare to enter into sacred rhythm: To sing together at 10:00 AM, lifting voices as one body; To sit in communal silence at 10:30 AM, trusting the Spirit to stir and speak; To greet one another with tenderness and share intentions at 11:30 AM; And to share food and fellowship without condition.
We ask Your blessing upon the noonday conversation, Led by Brian Vura-Weis, as hearts turn to the practice of simplicity. May this dialogue open space for clarity, contentment, and deeper purpose. Let each word spoken be wrapped in wisdom, And let each person feel free to bring their whole self to the table.
As we walk into the week ahead, May unity not be forced, but discovered. May purpose not be pressured, but revealed. And may success not be measured by outcomes alone, But by the grace we carry in every step.
In faith and in fellowship, In silence and in song— May peace prevail. Amen 💕✌️🙏
Whispers of Grace
