(A universal prayer broadly spiritual enough to embrace even atheists)
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All the Powers, Elements and Laws of the Universe:
Bless these people and this event. Bless our families, our friends and our supporters.
Bless us with long and fortunate lives.
Bless us with goodness, with love, with beauty, and with wisdom.
Bless us with peace.
Bless those of us who have passed on with memories of our good personal qualities and good deeds.
Let the sun, the moon, the stars...let air, water and fire bear witness to this prayer.
And if, oh Powers and Elements that be, you cannot hear our prayers, or cannot change since all eternity, Let this prayer change us our very selves by the truth, beauty and wisdom of its sentiments.
These things we pray in the name of love for all our fellow beings.
These things we pray bowing before the awesomeness of the Universe.
Hear our prayer today and for all ages. Amen.
