For Overcoming Doubt

To our cherished benefactors of the Faith:
We call upon you that we may ease our doubts:
For Doubt makes his visit, and does ridicule us heavily;
Especially at those times when we are forlorn.


We call to you that you might share a measure of your –
Unshakable certainty,
Undeterred constancy,
And immovable faith.


May we experience your –
Open dedication,
Complete and tried commitment,
And pure motivations.


Shall we come to know of your –
Tireless application,
Forthright instigations,
And pious proliferations
In all endeavor.


And may we, like you, come to –
Steadfast determination,
Centered in God,
Around which all else does pivot.

Amen

Prayer against Cynicism

Dear and Beloved Father,

To whom we all entrust,
We pray today,
For all of that false thinking and judgment,
Undue and unjust,
And for all of those who suffer such constraints,
As delivered by prejudicial cynicism and its offspring.


We know that the bounty becomes as ruined and spoiled,
When men pretend that beauty is no more than filth,
Quick to corrupt Your fragile Grace.
We know also that such splendor will not be denied,
And that the poison that is contempt,
Need only meet with such Understanding as is Yours,
To become as true Love, tight-bound in new found sympathy.


Oh dear God, let men be brought to Your Illumined Mind,
And empowered by such Wisdoms, that can contrast truth from lies,
And do so withstanding those personal convictions
Which contradict Your Law, Your Love and Divine Perspective.

We are humbled in our approach to great knowledge,
We are with apology for all of our false presumptions,
And we pray that we may come to higher knowledge
With reverence and true reception,
For all of Your array of Wisdom's beauty.

Amen

A Prayer for the Earth

Holy Sepulcher,
We cling to thee with ever a fond recall ...
We pray for your wellbeing today and call upon those beings
To whom your passage is entrusted,
To protect well our advancing Planet, and keep her safe.


We call too, into the realm of Men,
That they may tend to her lovingly and take heed of her wisdom,
For good hygiene is good ecology,
And good ecology subsists the continuance of much dear life and lives.


We thank thee for your being,
And your vast and welcoming comprehension of us;
And we pray for your happy continuance, furtherance and evolvement.


Dear Father, we ask you to remember our Earth,
That she shall be protected at all times from harm and disease.
We pray that you will grant her continuance in this fine effort,
And value her being, as we who gather unto her, most certainly do.
We are committed to her concerns,
And pledge to defend her where needed.
We ask you to never forsake this precious planet,
And all of her relatives.


Amen

A Prayer for the Sun-18th May 1993

To the Natural Order,

To the Power which excels

Each bud and leaf, each sprout and propulsion,

Each umbrella of growth, change and re-growth -

May we meet with you,

That your wisdom infills us and speaks to us of life.

We cherish this meeting,

We truly celebrate this moment,

As grand and gracious, the lady comes,

She who inspires life manifest.

We look to rebirth, reorder and renewal,

And compose ourselves in gratitude

For an ever replenishing new order.

We thank thee Sun, for your being.

AMEN
