This work was written as a gift to the human race: a reminder of what is possible, if we simply choose to embrace the potential of our civility and spirituality. Disturbed by what I have witnessed during my lifetime: constant wars, murder, the evolving practice of stealing up to and including the corporate level, the horrid abuse of women and children, defacing the planet and the growing celebration of self-degradation, I was motivated to write a liturgical work.
