Peace Prayers

[Guest guest]

O God, we believe You are here.

We adore and love You with our

whole heart and soul because You

are most worthy of all our love.

 

We desire to love You as the Blessed do

in Heaven.

 

We adore all the designs of your divine

Providence, resigning ourselves

entirely to Your Will.

 

We also love our neighbor for Your sake

as we love ourselves.

 

We sincerely forgive all who have injured

us, and ask pardon of all whom we have

injured.

 

Dear Jesus, help us to spread Your

fragrance everywhere we go.

 

Flood our souls with Your spirit and

life.

 

Penetrate and possess our whole being

so utterly,

 

That our lives may only be a radiance of

Yours.

 

Shine through us, and be so in us,

That every soul we come in contact with

may feel your presence in our soul.

 

Let them look up look up and see no longer

us, but only Jesus!

 

Stay with us, and then we shall begin to

shine as You shine;

 

So to shine as to be a light to others.

The light O Jesus will be all from You,

none of it will be ours;

 

It will be You, shining on others

through us.

 

Let us, thus praise You in the way You

love best by shining on those around

us.

 

Let us preach You without preaching, not

by words but by our example,

 

By the catching force, the sympathetic

influence of what we do,

 

The evident fullness of the love our

hearts bear to You.

 

Amen.

Hear, O Humankind, the prayer of my heart

 

For are we not one, have we not one desire,

to heal our Mother Earth and bind her wounds

to hear again from dark forests and flashing rivers

the varied ever-changing Song of Creation?

 

O humankind, are we not all brothers and sisters,

are we not the grandchildren of the Great Mystery?

Do we not all want to love and be loved, to work

and play, to sing and dance together?

 

But we live with fear. Fear that is hate, fear

that is mistrust, envy, greed, vanity, fear that is

ambition, competition, aggression, fear that is

loneliness, anger, bitterness, cruelty….and yet,

fear is only twisted love, love turned back on itself,

love that was denied, love that was rejected…

and love...

Love is life---creation, seed and leaf

and blossom and fruit and seed, love is growth

and search and reach and touch and dance,

Love is nurture and succor and feed and pleasure,

love is pleasuring ourselves pleasuring each other,

love is life believing in itself.

And life…

Life is the Sacred Mystery singing to itself, dancing

to its drum, telling tales, improvising, playing

and we are all that Spirit, our stories all

but one cosmic story that we are love indeed,

that perfect love in me seeks the love in you,

and if our eyes could ever meet without fear

we would recognize each other and rejoice,

for love is life believing in itself.

Namah Shivaya,

 

No, this was the first time that I have come into

contact with this prayer.

 

I was taken by the passion in Mother Teresa's words,

it reminded me of a prayer/poem that I had written

about the Divine Mother several years ago.
