Dear friends,

Attached and below is the 102nd in the monthly series of Global Chalice Lightings from the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists, for use during February 2012. It is submitted in Italian and English by the Italian Unitarian Communion. Please see that this Global Chalice Lighting is translated, if necessary, and distributed as widely as possible within your group.

If someone else should be the designated contact for your group, please let me know as soon as possible.

In faith,

-Lorella

Possa questo calice rappresentare noi davanti a te, o Vita infinita.

Possa il gambo essere la fermezza della nostra fede, la coppa essere la nostra anima che ti accoglie, e la candela che brucia l'impegno delle nostre vite.

Possa la fiamma che stiamo accendendo essere la scintilla del Divino nel nostro spirito, l'unità dei nostri cuori con il suo calore, la nostra ricerca di una vera fratellanza di tutti gli esseri umani con il suo ascendere, la testimonianza della nostra ostinata speranza con il suo splendore.

Fai che il gambo non vacilli nelle difficoltà. che la coppa non si riempia di illusioni, che la candela non si esaurisca in tentazioni, fai che la fiamma non si estingua nella rinuncia ma che sia sempre il faro della nostra ricerca spirituale.

Amen

 

 

May this chalice we light represent us in front of you, oh Infinite Life.

May its stem be the steadiness of our faith, its cup our soul receiving you and its candle which burns the engagement of our life.

May the flame we are lighting be the spark of Divinity inside our spirit,

the unity of our hearts its warmth, our search for a true brotherhood of all human beings its ascension, the testimony of our obstinate hope its brightness.

Let the stem not wobble in difficulties, the cup not get filled with illusions, the candle not be exhausted by temptations. Let the flame never extinguish in renunciation but may it always be our lighthouse in our spiritual quest.

Amen
