Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Greetings Relatives: Below you will find a message from our long time friend and supporter, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. We hope that you will mark this day (June 21st 2003) in your calendars and even if you can't attend this event, please let us support in our own ways and keep good thoughts that day for all peoples and this creation! Peace and blessings, Roberto Mucaro Borrero, President, UCTP U.S. Regional Coordinating Office http://www.uctp.org/ -------------------------------- " All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer " World Peace and Prayer Day 2003 " We are now in a time of prophecy, when Animal Nations would stand upon Mother Earth a different color than their natural being and be born white. They are speaking to us with the only voice that can be heard. These messages are of a blessing and yet a great warning. It is a time of great urgency to unite for Peace and Harmony upon Mother Earth in order for our future generations to survive. Mother Earth is not a resource but, rather, the source of life itself. " -Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th generation Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Bundle The World Peace and Prayer Day mission was founded in 1996 by Chief (Dr.) Arvol Looking Horse, Spiritual Leader of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations (collectively known as the Great Sioux Nation). Along with thousands of concerned citizens of the Americas he began to promote this Wolakota (Lakota word for Peace) event for five years. This vision was then extended to the Global community and is now pursuing a UN world proclamation declaring June 21 (summer/winter solstice) as World Peace and Prayer Day (Honoring Sacred Sites Day) where all nations and all people join together spiritually and pray for the healing of Earth and all beings to live in sustainable harmony and peace. Chief Looking Horse, along with the WPPD delegation have been traveling to the four corners of the earth to enact World Peace and Prayer Day and bring awareness of the need for all people to join spiritually for Mother Earth's and all living beings' survival. World Peace and Prayer Day is to recommit ourselves to ecological principles for sustainable living through forums, exhibits, and education, to support a better future for our children. We are aware the issue of peace, the fear of violence through terrorism and war is in peoples' thoughts at this time. We are aware that many people in the world are suffering through poverty, disease and famine. We are aware that our planet's existence is under threat from environmental damage. We worry for the legacy we are leaving for our children's generation - if there is to be a future at all? Our current world social, environmental and climatic conditions have come as no surprise to the World Peace and Prayer Day (WPPD) Peace Delegation. An international WPPD Delegation of peace leaders, cultural representatives, multi-faith religious dignitaries, representatives of social and environmental causes have made significant progress towards achieving the goals of this mission, while retaining uniqueness of identity and beliefs that come through the diversity of this forum. We invite you to assist in this Global endeavor by activating your local sacred site. This year's event will be in The Grampians of Australia PO Box 160 Warrandyte 3113 Victoria Australia Email: wppd2003 Web site information: http://www.worldpeaceandprayerday.org http://www.wolakota.org http://www.worldpeaceday.com *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
