Universal Prayer

God our friend, mother and father / may you be praised in your diversity / of names and forms by the whole universe / may we experience / a world guided by your values of justice / fraternity / equality / peace / hope and love / may your will be the motive force of all our dreams and actions ! Give us our daily food / for body, mind and soul / strengthen us to forget and forgive without counting the cost / forgive us our offences / as we forgive those who offended us in the past / bless all those who offend us now with your peace ! Strengthen us always to stand for truth / without fear and walk in the path of light with hope / truth / optimism and creativity / Protect us from all evil forces and liberate us from hatred, despair and depressions!    …… Amen
