Not some random act of fate
some cosmic coincidence
each of us sent to the earth
as was the son, the Christ
Each of us anointed
for a specific purpose of God
each of us commissioned
before we breathed the air
To use the gifts we are given
to share with the whole world
the love of God come to the earth
the good news of Christ
God who died, that we may live

Through our gifts, may we do likewise.
In the name of Christ the Comforter, we pray. Amen”
