I pray for the entire creation ... for the generation which is now alive, for that which is just coming into life, and for that which shall be hereafter.

And I pray for that sanctity which leads to prosperity, and which has long afforded shelter, which goes on hand in hand with it, which joins it in its walk, and of itself becoming its close companion as it delivers forth its precepts, bearing every form of healing virtue which comes to us....

And so the greatest, and the best, and most beautiful benefits of
sanctity fall likewise to our lot.

From the Zend-Avesta, the scripture of Zoroastrianism

With bended knees
with hands outstretched,
do I yearn for the effective expression
of the holy spirit working within me:
For this love and understanding,
truth and justice;
for wisdom to know the apparent from
the real that I might alleviate
the sufferings of men on earth….
God is love and understanding,

wisdom and virtue.

Let us love one another,
let us practice mercy and forgiveness,
let us have peace,
born of fellow-feeling….
Let my joy be of altruistic living,
of doing good to others.
Happiness is to him
from whom happiness proceeds
to any other human being.

Response: We will practice what we profess.
