Prayer: Family, Community Participation, from Sr. Thea Bowman

I want to be present. I want to be ready. I want to share what I have -- my life, my laughter, my love, my joy. I want to give to you as I receive from you. I want to learn from you. I want my children to learn from you so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past, so that we can grow together and walk together and talk together and live together in love, in joy, in peace forever.
