Community Prayer
In Your Image
We are made in Your image with all the colors of the rainbow.
All our faces are reflected in You.
Help us to be mindful
That when we look into the eyes of another, when we speak with and pray for others,
We are connecting to You.
Each of us carries that Divine Spark,
That flash of light, reflecting and mirroring each other and You.
Bless us with unity
And a sense of belonging.
We are One.
