You have chosen to bless our ancestors and answer their prayers by walking with us through this land of our sojourn. We believe you will be faithful to future generations, blessing them because we chose to place our trust in you and follow your ways. We stand amazed in your presence.

We enter your sacred prayer space, blessed by your teachings. You have surrounded us with a community of believers; together, we have witnessed your teachings and guidance. You have called us to practise your ways with each other.

We commit to learning the truth about the sins of our ancestors. Give us strength to admit the truth to ourselves, you, and others. Give us the courage to reconcile with those who feel the result of generational wrongs, so we can journey together in a good way.

We say prayers to you with every breath and heartbeat. We fall in love with you again each time we see you in our reflection, in creation, and in our prayers and meditations. Bring us back to you again and again. Place your songs in our hearts and on our lips.

Give us wisdom to silence ourselves in your presence, so we will hear your voice and know your purpose. Guide us in your ways, so we will sojourn well upon your Ancient Path and greet each other in a good way.
