Today, may many hear your voice,
Starting their journey
Back to your embrace.

Today, may many turn to you,
Asking forgiveness;
Welcoming your grace.

Today, may many follow you,
Serving their neighbours;
Learning to do good.

Today, may many join with you,
Knowing your presence;
Living in your love.
