Oh God, Let our Earth be blessed and healed.
May every being on earth be free from suffering and oppression.
May they live in health, in safety, and in happiness.
May each person be infused with divine light and love—
So deeply filled with love that it flows into action:
A love expressed through goodness, through service, through blessing others.
May patience and kindness rise to replace anger and vitriol.
May peace and contentment dissolve avarice, envy, and jealousy.
May a love of truth and a reverence for wisdom
Replace deception, lies, and propaganda.
May the spirit of community and interdependence
Outshine the illusion of individualism and selfishness.
May a sacred sense of stewardship guide our care
For the land, the air, the waters, and the sky above.
May we replace excess with gratitude—
Appreciating what is enough, and sharing freely.
May those we entrust with leadership
Govern with wisdom, integrity, and compassion for all.
May cooperation replace unhealthy competition, and greed replaced by generosity.
May goodness overcome cruelty.
May mercy replace judgment.
And may justice reign over all the Earth.
