PATRIOTISM
Dr.
Richard Palermo
Welcome
Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come,
Whoever You Are
Come,
come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame:
We extinguish this flame, but not the
light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are
together again.
