Opening karakia for a learning context

Yesterday I led a leadership development session. We opened our time together with this karakia:

He hōnore, he korōia ki te Atua

He maungārongo ki te whenua

He whakaaro pai ki ngā tāngata katoa

Hangaia e te Atua he ngākau hou

Ki roto, ki tēnā, ki tēnā o mātou

Whakatōngia tō wairua tapu

Hei āwhina, hei tohutohu i a mātou

Hei ako hoki i ngā mahi mō tēnei rā

Āmine

Honour and glory to God

Peace on Earth

Goodwill to all people

Lord, develop a new heart

Inside all of us

Instil in us your sacred spirit

Help us, guide us

In all the things we need to learn today.

Amen
