And all the people that live on the Earth shall find peace and be healed.
Chant from: “You Are The One,” by Carole & Bren
My prayer for this new year is simple. I pray that the Earth—the only home we have—shall be healed. I pray that we as a nation and a world may renew our commitment to the complex process of healing the damage we have done to our planet. I pray that the water we drink may flow cleanly and freely, that the food we eat shall nourish our bodies, and that the air that we breathe shall be clear and light.
I pray that all the people that live on the Earth shall find peace and be healed. I pray for an end to the violence that is daily perpetrated against women, children, animals, the differently abled, the GLBT community, and all other victims of violence. I pray for an end to the endless wars in which we find ourselves engaged and for renewed efforts at peace-making across the globe. I pray for Peace.
