Preparing for the dedication! |
I invite you to cup your hands before you. (Like this.) Imagine putting all your desires for this labyrinth in your hands until they are overflowing.
As you open your hands outward, send all the possibilities that you have imagined for this healing tool toward it. Thank you!
I am going to offer several prayers for this labyrinth. After each, I would invite all of us to respond by repeating the following phrase,
“We dedicate this labyrinth to the well-being of our community.”
