[Liturgy] Ancestor Part - Ancestors of Culture

I had/have to take a break for a moment to write some liturgy. For our Samhain rite, we're doing a sort of five-fold Ancestor part, and I am going to take on calling to the Ancestors of culture.

I'm not sure I'm 100% done, but I am pretty happy with what I have right now to tinker with.

I call out to the Ancestors of culture -

You who shaped the societal flow across the decades;
you who sacrificed - in many ways - so our society would flourish.

I call out to the:

Ancestors of innovation - for the knowledge and experiments which have improved our lives.

Ancestors of war and sacrifice -  all those who gave in ways uncountable so that we might have what we do today.

Ancestors who transcended the boundaries imposed on them in their time.

Ancestors of Wealth and of Poverty, whose triumph and adversity shaped a Nation...

and to the Ancestors of the Faithful - whose committal to their paths gave us the freedom to follow ours.

(Ancestors of culture, accept our sacrifice (or offering.)

I might book-end it but I'm not sure yet.
