Thank you, O God, for the time that is now, for all the newness your minutes allow, make us alert with your presence of mind to fears and longings that move humankind. Thank you, O God, for the time that is past, for all the values and thoughts that will last. May we all stagnant tradition ignore, leaving behind things that matter no more. Thank you for hopes of the day that will come, for all the change that will happen in time; God for the future our spirits prepare hallow our doubts and redeem us from fear.
