May our community be a place of friendship,
understanding, and love,
where every person feels valued and supported.

Set our hearts astir with that same love,
that we might build a culture of encounter

and systems that justly serve
those living in homelessness
and mental ill-health.

God of all goodness,
In Mary, you showed us that you do great things

through ordinary people.
We rejoice and are glad because
Mary shares in the glory of heaven with you.

May we be blessed with gratitude for the gift of another new day of life.
May we be blessed with love, love for God and for all people.
May we be blessed with hope; the possibility of growth in each moment.
