SERMON
The Springs of Virtue
Virtue springs deep within our essence Welling up into a flowing stream Coursing forth through actions hence Reflected in our intentions seen
Virtue springs from within our hearts Spinning forth its spreading reach Flowing out to distant parts Touching those who’re within its breach
Virtue springs when given chance Leaping forth to start to race Spinning swirling as if to dance Giving warmth with its blind embrace
Virtue springs so eternally new Spouting from source both old and young Given fresh hope from all or few So let us sing of Virtue’s song
A moment of silent
reflections on the
Virtues.
Closing Prayer

Renewed in us virtuous meaning.
Refreshed our love of Virtue.
Revived our rooting in Virtue.
Rejuvenated the growth of Virtue in our souls.
Recharged our will to spread Virtue.
Revitalized our commitment to Virtue.
Renewed our faith in Virtue.
Replenished within us Virtue.
Recharged our drive to live Virtue.
To allow us to go forth in life.
And exemplify all that is Virtue.
