- May the work that we will soon begin
sing praise to you.
- May the work that we will soon begin
speak like the prophets of old of your beauty and unity.
- May the work that we will soon begin be a shimmering mirror of your handiwork
- in the excellence of its execution,
- in the joy of doing it,
- in our poverty of ownership over it,
- in our invitation to others to share in it,
- and in its bearing fruit for the Lasallian world.
- May we be aware that through this work we draw near to you.
We come to you with ready hands.
- Amen!
