The invocation delivered at the Rotary Club of Manila's oath-taking ceremony.

Invocation

IN the name of God, the most magnificent, the most merciful, let us pray.

Almighty god, we humbly come before you with grateful hearts as we gather for this RCM Oathtaking ceremony. We thank you for the gift of life, for your countless blessings and for the opportunity to serve our club and our community. We ask you, o god, to bless all our newly inducted board of directors and officers. Grant them with wisdom to lead with integrity, courage to uphold justice, humility to serve with compassion and perseverance to fulfill their duties with excellence.

Guide our leaders and every member of our club, strengthen our commitment to unity, cooperation and mutual respect. So together we will become men of positive change and service to others.

We also pray to our families and loved ones, keep them under your loving heart. Bless them with good health, peace and happiness, and continue to be our source of strength and inspiration.

May all our plans, decision and action always reflect honesty, accountability and sincerely desire to contribute to the betterment of our community and our nation. We entrust, oh God, everything to your divine guidance and mercy.

Amen.
