We gather in this place which is our spiritual home at this hour. It is one place

for us all. We are people of different origins, with different life stories; each of

us is unique. We walk on many diverse paths.

While the path of each of us is quite different, we have a common goal: to

deeper our connection with the Spirit of Life; to do the spiritual work in our

hearts; and to reach out to the others.

Let us light the chalice to strengthen our awareness of togetherness. This is

truly one place, many paths; many paths, one goal. May the light of this chalice

remind us of that.
