Green Prayer
I have been interacting online with Christian friends on a forum and two brothers posted the following ‘green prayers’ which I thought were great and really reflect the heartbeat of the world today:-
Our mother, who art on Earth,
Greenery be thy name.
Our kingdom come,
Our will be done on Earth,
Because there is no heaven.
Give us this day our granary bread
And we don’t care about temptation,
Because there is no evil one.
Forgive us when our dogs sin against thy trees
As we dance round them at midsummer.
For ours is the kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
But it won’t be forever.
Our Gaia, who art of nature
Hallowe’d be thy name
Thy garden come
Thy climate be calm
On earth, as it is in Green
Give us this day our daily carbon allowance
And forgive us our carbon debits
As we forgive those whose carbon usage exceeds ours
Lead us not into gestation
But deliver us from sanity
For thine is the spirit, The Green and the Power, now and for a month or two
Classic!!
