While I can speak . . . let me say words of joy, hope and encouragement
While I can touch . . . let me reach out to others in love and compassion.
Lead Me to Peace
A Prayer by Mother Teresa
Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill our hearts,
our world, our universe,
Peace, Peace, Peace.
What I know in my bones is that I forgot to take time
to remember what I know.
The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy.
Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves,
the whisperings of grasses,
the shimmering of leaves.

An Inuit Indian Prayer
My fears,
Those small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and reach.
And yet there is only one great thing,
The only thing,
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world.
That I may be the presence that saves...
By Leron Kattan
Let the love of life shine in me
That I may be the presence that saves all beings from their profound suffering
That I may be a spirit that brings life and light into the world
That all my actions be ones that work to save all creatures from all forms of pain
that are, have been, and will be
In this world and in all the worlds...

New Year’s Prayer
By Reverend Marcy
As the dawn breaks on a new year, let us give thanks for all we hold dear: our health, our family and our friends.
Let us release our grudges, our anger and our pains, for these are nothing but binding chains. Let us live each day in the most loving ways, the God-conscious way. Let us serve all who are in need, regardless of race, color or creed.
Let us keep God of our own understanding in our hearts and to chant God’s name each day. Let us lead the world from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth and from wrong to right.
Let us remember that we are all one, embracing all, discriminating against none.
May your year be filled with peace, prosperity and love. May God's blessings shower upon you and bestow upon each of you a bright, healthy and peaceful new year.
Rev. Marcy (Niagara)
I was saddened to hear of the devastating cyclone in Bangladesh this week, and the loss of life continues to grow in the region. While this disaster is a continent away, we can all understand the pain from loss. I would like to share this prayer for those who have lost too much to comprehend & I pray for peace to enter their lives~
Beloved God by Alan Cohen
Beloved God,
Show me the truth about this.
I now surrender all fears, doubts, and judgments,
and invite the light of perfect consciousness to illuminate my path.
Pure love is present here and now,
as God lives in every person I meet.
I send love and appreciation to all my associates,
knowing with perfect confidence that
he or she is guided by the same Great Spirit that guides me.
I am not separate from my brothers and sisters, but one with them.
I trust that my highest good is unfolding before me,
and I accept the very best that love and life have to offer.
I am worthy of living in the kingdom of Heaven,
even as I walk the earth. I claim it now.
Thank you, God, for loving me infinitely,
and opening all doors for the highest good of all concerned.
I receive Your love, and magnify it.
And so it is.
I want to share this video with you
and let you know
that I am saying a little prayer for you
"Wishing you much happiness & peace"
