Mattew 5:44

That the people of the world
may they see their Inner Light
and heed the intimate voice.

For the Bishop of Rome,
may he see his Inner Light,
and heed the intimate voice.
May he see Christ in the Buddha.

For the Archbishop of Cantebury,
may he see his Inner Light
and heed the intimate voice.

For Nigerian Bishops,
may they see their Inner Light
and heed the intimate voice.
May they seek Christ in the stranger.

For George Bush,
may his life be blessed and full.
May he see his Inner Light
reflected in the foreigner.

For Donald Rumsfeld,
may his Inner Light be inspired.
May his life be full and blessed.
May he never be torn by rockets,
mortar, or gun fire.

For Condeleeza Rice,
may she be inspired by her Inner Light.
May her life be rich and blessed.

For Dick Cheney,
may his Inner Light be ignited.
May he learn the way of spiritual poverty,
and walk the path of humility.

We also offer prayers for:
The mother who was shot,
the son who was arrested.
The mother's son who died on the border.
Grant them peace.
May their Inner Light
guide them into your presence.

Pray for us now, and in the hour of death:
that we be richly blessed with a full life,
walk the humble path of rightness,
see you in every person we meet,
and continually grow to full maturity.
