In Awe and Wonder 

We praise you, O God, for creating humankind in your image,

and giving all human beings a common genetic makeup

regardless of race, gender or ethnicity.

We are awed by the knowledge

that there are billions of cells in our bodies and

each one of them stores the secret of life in its DNA.

We are amazed by scientists' use of technology

to learn about cells, tissues and organs

and how any changes in the gene can affect our daily lives.

We pray for all scientists: engineers, students, teachers, physicians, technicians -

who work diligently to unfold your holy mysteries

and ask your blessing on each one of them.

May these technological developments be used for the good of all

and to alleviate suffering from the world.

We thank you, O God,

for the wisdom and knowledge you bestow upon scientists

who work at revealing the secrets of creation.

We stand in awe and wonder at the history of the universe and of life on this planet.

This knowledge strengthens our faith in your creative power.

We are grateful for this wonderful creation

and for being a part of your blessing.

Praise be to you, O God

AMEN
