at the closing of this day
may we know happiness
even in the darkest of times
if we only remember
to turn on the marvellous light
lumos
O Healer of Souls, enchant our hearts,
that we may feel your mystery
pause
Let us stand up for what is right,
to our friends and to powerful foes
We solemnly swear to seek the common good
reflect
How could we be more altruistic in everyday life?
“If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love”
– Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Chapter 17: The Man with Two Faces
Help us live this Muggle day to the full
only seeking to be surrounded by love, and to share it with others
Help us carry awareness of life’s magic
into every moment, in every breath
