A Prayer For All Religions

Hallowed be thy name, Spirit of growth, compassion, and love – Whatever they may call you. You are not An unyielding, vengeful Law-giving master For there is but one law in your realm Inscribed in Earth and in Sky: Love, and do no harm. You are not A stern judge who divides the righteous From the unworthy, For by your power all those who seek, may find, And all may receive Your blessing. You are not A dispenser of shame and of guilt And of restrictions, For your glory is in the flame of renewal, The water of forgiveness, And the seeds of endless possibilities. Spirit of growth, compassion, and love – Whatever they may call you: Hallowed be thy name. 4/25/2015
