Vow of Devotion - James
In front of witnesses at Spirit Garage church in Minneapolis, on September 9, 2012 — James Lawrence, Sabina Marie and Kenna Rose reaffirmed, verbally and ceremonially, their baptismal binding to the Word of God. This is a faithful recreation of a statement made for that purpose.
Lord, thy servant’s heart bursts with joy at the smile of Grace upon him!
Hallowed be thy Name. Thy bounty is such that one’s spirit is full of devotion and reconciliation unto thee. Indeed, O Word of God, thou art both intention and devotion at once!
Verily does thy Light of consciousness reveal the straight path of truth within, for thee to travel and that thy servant might see. May the lamp of the body illuminate brightly thy truth and glory, that any other might witness.
Lord, as thou art Love-eternal and unfailing, also make thy servant an instrument of Love-eternal ... To be unfailing in my service unto thee, and to any other for thy sake, that is my wish—to be like the best man with thee as Bridegroom, to stand up and listen to thee, and to rejoice greatly because of the sound of thy Word.
Our Father, thy Kingdom come ... In solidarity with thine other servants, my companions, please grant that thy Bread of Life remain instilled within me, that I might have the sustenance and strength to serve them, as well as myself, in keeping closely to thy straight path of Truth and Light—however may be thy Will on earth.
O most high, all praise and glory unto thee!
