Peace Prayers

[Guest guest]

I am the one whose praise echoes on high.

I adorn all the earth.

I am the breeze that nurtures all things green.

I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits.

I am led by the spirit to feed the purest streams.

I am the rain coming from the dew

that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.

I am the yearning for good.

 

~~~ Hildegard of Bingen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Love all Creation

The whole of it and every grain of sand

Love every leaf

Every ray of God’s light

Love the animals

Love the plants

Love everything

If you love everything

you will perceive

The divine mystery in things

And once you have perceived it

You will begin to comprehend it ceaselessly

More and more everyday

And you will at least come to love the whole world

With an abiding universal love

 

~~~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

O Lord,

open my eyes that I may see the needs of others;

open my ears that I may hear their cries;

open my heart so that they need not be without succor;

 

let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the

anger of the strong,

nor afraid to defend to poor because of the

anger of the rich.

 

Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,

and use me to bring them to those places.

 

And so open my eyes and my ears

that I may this coming day be able to do some work of

peace for thee.

Amen.
