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
