The Passion of the Earth

Infinite Spirit, when I pray each day

for shelter for the homeless,

let me not ingore the pet without a home;

 

As I ask protection for those in areas

of turmoil and unrest,

let me not forget endangered species of life;

 

When I pray that the hungry be fed,

let me be mindful

that all God's creatures have need of sustenance;

 

As I ask Devine assistance for those afflicted

by fire, flood, earthquake, storm or drought,

let me remember that this includes every living thing;

 

In seeking miracle cures for human disease,

may I also speak for the well-being of the planet itself

 

Let the words of my mouth,

the meditation of my heart

and the actions of my life be as one,

that I may live each day in harmony

with Mother Earth
