We light the Chalice as a symbol of our unity, of our common search for truth and meaning, of our wish to stay and struggle for those things that we have chosen to share with love and responsibility.
We also spread these rose petals as a symbol of our spiritual freedom, and in blessing one another, we acknowledge that the truth is God and the only sure means is love, in all cultures and in all creeds.
To the memory of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
