Prayer for Peace Meditation: Making the Way of Peace Our Way of Life
SUNDAY, MARCH 22 we held our first Prayer for Peace Meditation. This 30-minute, in-person event featured our Prayer for Peace (see below), a guided meditation, and time for silent reflection, prayer, and the cultivation of inner peace that we carry into our lives and communities, making the way of peace our way of life. This is a free event open to the public. Before we schedule our next Prayer for Peace Meditation, we'd like to hear from you. Please share the next 5 minutes with us to answer a few questions about the Prayer for Peace Meditation:
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Our Prayer for Peace©
We offer up this prayer to Infinite Intelligence--the Creator and Light of the Universe--as we, likewise, offer this prayer to all who wish to hear it and breathe it into themselves.
We pray that when our world darkens, we may see Light...the Light in others, the Light within ourselves, and the Universal Light that is always accessible to us.
We pray for openness to your inspiration that leads us to actions that replace hardship, division, intolerance, and cruelty with unity, acceptance, abundance, and kindness.
We pray for the healing of our world--to find within us the understanding that directs us toward compassion and forgiveness for self and others.
We pray that we may learn gratefulness, mindfulness, and to extend our hands to those less fortunate, acting always through our spirituality toward a greater humanity.
We pray for the Light of Protection for us all:
To do the work of Spirit
To join in community to spread the word of Spirit, and
To touch as many people as we can,
And when the shadows are at their longest and darkest, to be beacons of your Light.
We pray for the wisdom to seek and cultivate a peaceful heart, to walk a peaceful path, and through these efforts, to make manifest a true and lasting peace the world over.
This...is our Prayer for Peace.
Amen.
