The Lord’s Prayer
I love this! It’s an Aboriginal version of the Lord’s Prayer (translated into English):
Eternal Spirit,
Earth-Maker, Pain-Barer, Life-Giver,
Source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all.
Loving God, in whom is heaven.
The hallowing of your name echoes throughout the universe!
The way of your justice be followed by your peoples on the earth!
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and test, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever. Amen.
