You, Holy Mystery, are the source of transforming energy among all creatures.
You initiate novelty, instigate change, transform what is dead into new bursts of life.
Fertility is intimately related to your re-creative power, as is the attractiveness of sex.
It is you who are ultimately playful, fascinating, pure and wise,
luring human beings into the depths of love.
It is you who move us all toward creativity and joy
in the struggle toward healing and liberation.
We give thanks for calling us into your vitality and strength.


Response: Holy Womb of All, empowering, freeing, in you we live and move and have our being.
