The citizens of Rome call out to our ancestors and our descendants
To all those who have touched the Red River
as it flows to, through and from us, we offer you welcome
To all those who have inspired us in our tradition,
and who we will inspire in our turn, we offer you welcome
To all those who we hold dear to our hearts,
and who hold us in theirs, we offer you welcome.
Mighty Ancestors and Descendants,
we make this offering to you,
and invite you to join us here at the sacred center
Receive our offering, share in our joy, and grant us your blessing.
Ancestors and Descendants, accept our sacrifice!
Ita Est!
Drake (Aurifex) Collins
