A reverence for everything


Vigil Proclamation

The speed of light is the one constant in the universe.

We are the light,

and this love that it symbolizes is the one thing that makes

the world go ’round.

Call and Response:

The quantum, the subatomic, the elemental, and the very minerals of the earth:

God loves things by becoming them!

The very waters that fall upon the earth, run through our rivers, our bodies,

and fill our oceans:

God loves things by becoming them!

The plants, the trees, all living and growing networks that root into this earth:

God loves things by becoming them!

The animals in our skies, in our oceans, on the land, all creatures great and small:

God loves things by becoming them!

Human beings: every race, nationality, status, sexuality, or gender—ALL human bodies:

God loves things by becoming them!

The angels and the spirits, those that move in the unseen realms and in other

dimensions:

God loves things by becoming them!

The great planetary bodies, the galaxies, and the whole cosmic mystery:

God loves things by becoming them!
