O God, lead us from the unreal to the Real,
O God, lead us from darkness to light.
O God, lead us from death to immortality.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all. ~Hindu Peace Prayer

O Almighty Sun, whose light clears away all clouds, We take refuge in you. Guide of all people, God of all deities, Lord of all angels, We pray you to dispel the mists of illusion from the hearts of the nations, And lift their lives by your all-sufficient power, Your ever shining light, your everlasting life, Your heavenly joy and your perfect peace. ~Sufi Prayer

Father, Mother, God, Thank you for your presence during the hard and mean days.For then we have you to lean upon.Thank you for your presence during the bright and sunny days,for then we can share that which we have with those who have less.And thank you for your presence during the Holy Days, for then we are able to celebrate you and our families and our friends.For those who have no voice,we ask you to speak. For those who feel unworthy, we ask you to pour your love out in waterfalls of tenderness.For those who live in pain,we ask you to bathe them in the river of your healing.For those who are lonely, we ask you to keep them company.For those who are depressed,we ask you to shower upon them the light of hope. Dear Creator, You, the borderless sea of substance, we ask you to give to all the world that which we need most—Peace. ~Maya Angelou

Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the paths of the Most High. And we shall beat our swords into plough-shares, and our spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation—neither shall they learn war any more. And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken. ~Jewish Prayer for Peace

Reflections
"Those who fail to understand the Truth will always seek to destroy it. And yet, so long as there are sparks still lost, enlightened souls will return, to show others the Way Back Home." ~Barnabbas
