<P>"Feelingly, Father, we come to you as your children, your own offspring. We
come to you in trust of your overcare, in anticipation of your graciousness,
your loving-kindness, your nurturing attitude toward us, your creations.</P>
<P>We feel secure in your company, Father. We realize that you are not angry
with us, that you love us and that you find joy in our accomplishments and you
encourage us in our learning processes. We love you, Father, and we feel
gratitude that we can share our life with you.</P>
<P>We are also grateful, Father, and joyous, in the knowledge that we have the
association of each other here in the flesh, that we can appreciate that we are
not alone but that we have one<BR>another with whom to share our human
experience as we come to be more Godlike and to understand how that feels.</P>
<P>In full appreciation of the example that was set by our very dear and very
beloved Father/Brother Michael, we pray.</P>
<P>Amen."</P></I></FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
