In the presence of the Infinite—by whatever name we call the Source of Wisdom, whether through the language of faith or the quiet awe of the universe—we honor the holiness of knowledge.
We give thanks for the strength of the scientific method: the discipline of the question, the humility of the trial, and the courage to follow evidence wherever it may lead.
We offer our deepest gratitude for the gifts of medical knowledge. May this work be recognized as a sacred act of protection, transforming knowledge into a vessel for kindness and the betterment of humanity.Â
We turn our hearts to the crisis of our common home. Grant us the clarity to see the dangers of climate change not as a distant abstraction, but as a call to urgent, compassionate action.Â
May the data of the scientist and the devotion of the believer unite to stir our conscience.Â
Let our pursuit of truth never be severed from our duty to one another.Â
May our knowledge be tempered by mercy, our technology guided by ethics, and our discoveries used to build a world where curiosity is a form of worship and better understanding leads to a more perfect peace.
Amen.
