A READING FROM PSALM 147 (FIRST READER ONLY)

Praise the beloved, heart of all hearts!/

For as we give ourselves in love,/

So we receive love,/

The beloved abides in our heart,/

In every open heart that welcomes love./

Through love we are sent to the brokenhearted,/

A mutual balm to the soul./

Invite love into your heart!/

Divine love brings peace to the heart,/

Peace that is beyond our knowledge./

May everyone awaken to Divine love./ >
