    Global Chalice Lighting for November 2010

    The International Council of Unitarians and Universalists announces the 87th in its monthly
    series of global chalice lighting readings. Congregations worldwide are invited to
    participate.

    All ICUU-affiliated groups have been asked to submit brief chalice lightings for the project.
    Every month, a reading will be distributed to Unitarian and Universalist congregations
    around the world. We ask each congregation to use the reading for at least one worship
    service in the designated month, identifying it as the “Global Chalice Lighting” for that
    month and naming the group which submitted it. Readings will be circulated in English and,
    where different, in their original language.

    It is hoped that the ICUU Global Chalice Lighting Project will enhance the worship
    experience in our congregations and raise awareness of the international dimensions of our
    religious movement.

    This Global Chalice Lighting is submitted in Portuguese and English by Liberal and Unitarian
    Christians of Portugal. It is to be used during November 2010.

    O Sopro da Vida, apesar de nós;


    O Sopro da Vida que os crentes chamam Deus;
    O Sopro da liberdade e do perdão;
    És Tu que nos fazes viver e lutar na nossa vida;
    És Tu que dás sentido à nossa existência;
    És Tu que nos permites viver e orar juntos apesar das nossas diferenças e
    singularidades;
    Obrigado, Sopro da liberdade e do perdão, porque é em Ti e através de Ti que o respeito
    e o amor podem existir, sempre apesar de nós;
    É sempre em Ti e através de Ti que, apesar de nós, podemos sonhar e trabalhar por um
    mundo novo, um mundo de liberdade, de amor e de perdão.
    Breath of Life, in spite of us;
    Breath of Life that believers call God;
    Breath of freedom and forgiveness;
    You give us life and sustain us in our life's struggles;
    You give meaning to our existence;
    You make it possible for us to live and pray together, in spite of our differences and
    singularities;
    We thank You, Breath of freedom and forgiveness, for in You and through
    You respect and love can exist, always in spite of us;
    In You and through You always, in spite of us, we have the power to dream and to work
    for a new world, a world of freedom, love and forgiveness.
