The Lord’s Prayer

Oh heavenly source of all radiance
Soften the ground of our being and
carve out a space within us
where your Presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity
so that we may be empowered to
bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit
in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom to
produce and share what each being
needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny
that bind us as we release others
from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Protect us from being seduced
by that which would divert us from our true purpose,
but illuminate the redemptive opportunities
of each passing moment.

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision,
the creative power and fulfillment,
as all is gathered and made whole once again."

This prayer was posted by stellanoir a few days ago as the translation straight from the original Aramaic into English. Quite a different 'feel' that the one most churches use after being translated from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English.
