Charge of the God
Unknown
Hear the words of the dancing God,
the music of whose laughter stirs the winds,
whose voice calls the seasons:
I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light,
sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame
I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me.
For I am the flesh of the earth and all its beings.
Through me all things must die and with me are reborn.
Let my worship be in the body that sings,
for behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals.
Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness,
joy and peace, awe and longing within you.
For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself,
within me, all beginnings have endings,
and all endings have beginnings.

Grandfather, Great Spirit
Black Elk - Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux - Earth Prayer
Hey-a-a-hey! Hey-a-a-hey! Hey-a-a-hey! Hey-a-a-hey!
Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth
and lean to hear my feeble voice.
You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer.
All things belong to you - the two-leggeds,
the four-leggeds, the wings of the air
and all green things that live.
You have set the powers of the four quarters
to cross each other.
The good road and road of difficulties
you have made to cross;
and where they cross, the place is holy.
Day in and day out, forever, you are the life of things.
Therefore I am sending a voice, Great Spirit,
my Grandfather, forgetting nothing you have made,
the stars of the universe
and the grasses of the earth.
You have said to me,
when I was still young and could hope,
that in difficulty I should send a voice four times,
once for each quarter of the earth,
and you would hear me.
To-day I send a voice for a people in despair.
You have given me a sacred pipe,
and through this I should make my offering.
You see it now.
From the west, you have given me the cup
of living water and the sacred bow,
the power to make live and to destroy.
You have given me a sacred wind and the herb
from where the white giant lives -
the cleansing power and the healing.
The daybreak star and the pipe,
you have given from the east;
and from the south, the nation's sacred hoop
and the tree that was to bloom.
To the center of the world you have taken me
and showed the goodness and the beauty
and the strangeness of the greening earth, the only mother -
and there the spirit shapes of things,
as they should be,
you have shown to me and I have seen.
At the center of this sacred hoop you have said
that I should make the tree to bloom.
With tears running, O Great Spirit, Great Spirit, my Grandfather -
with running tears I must say now that
the tree has never bloomed.
A pitiful old man, you see me here,
and I have fallen away and have done nothing.
Here at the center of the world,
where you took me when I was young and taught me;
here, old, I stand, and the tree is withered,
Grandfather, my Grandfather!
Again, and maybe the last time on this earth,
I recall the great vision you sent me.
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then, that it may leaf and bloom
and fill with singing birds.
Hear me, not for myself, but for my people; I am old.
Hear me that they may once more go back into the sacred hoop
and find the good red road, the shielding tree!
In sorrow I am sending a feeble voice,
O Six Powers of the World.
Hear me in my sorrow, for I may never call again.
O make my people live!
Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes
Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings.
Look upon me with mercy.
When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary where you dispense your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.
I come, therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession.
My loving Mother, obtain my request.
I will try to imitate your virtues so that I may one day share your company and bless you in eternity.
Amen.
Tibetan Buddhist Meditation
May I be filled with loving kindness.
May I be well.
May I be peaceful and at ease.
May I be happy.
Deep Peace
Adapted from Ancient Gaelic Runes
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.
My Love Will Speak
My love will speak
With the sound of grace
Merciful within mercy
The works of my faith
Smiles of overflowing
Inspire my giving
Abundance of joy as rain
The fruits of my living
My life will shine
As the morning sings
I walk in liberty
Bound in true dreams
Manifested promises
Chase my forward motion
A covered path before me
The fruits of my hoping
The fruits of my living
Today I purpose to live
My love will speak
With the sound of grace
Merciful within mercy
The works of my faith
Smiles of overflowing
Inspire my giving
Abundance of joy as rain
The fruits of my living
Today I purpose to live

Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy
A Prayer for Women - Saint Augustine of Hippo
Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent!
Receive our gratitude, and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins.
Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God.
Holy Mary,
Help the miserable, strengthen the discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy, intercede for all women consecrated to God.
May all who venerate you feel now your help and protection.
Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to us the answers to our prayers.
Make it your continual concern to pray for the people of God, for you were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever.
Amen.

Bind the sick person to Heaven
Assyrian
Bind the sick person to Heaven, for from Earth he/she is being torn away!
Of the brave person who was so strong, his/her strength has departed.
Of the righteous servant, the force does not return,
In his/her bodily frame he/she lies dangerously ill.
But Ishtar, who in her dwelling, is grieved concerning him/her, descends from her mountain unvisited of men.
To the door of the sick person she comes.
The sick person listens!
Who is there? Who comes?
It is Ishtar, daughter of the Moon God!
Like pure silver may his/her garment be shining white!
Like brass may he/she be radiant!
To the Sun, greatest of the gods, may he/she ascend!
And may the Sun, greatest of the gods, receive his/hr soul into his holy hands!
You shall sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop
Christian
You shall sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed
You shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be
Oh Allah I consult You
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
Oh Allah!
I consult You as You are all Knowing,
and I seek ability from Your power and I ask you for Your great favor,
for You have power,
but I do not,
and You have knowledge,
but I do not,
and You know all hidden matters
Oh Allah!
If You know that this matter is good for me in my religion,
my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter,
then make it easy and bless it;
and if You know that this matter is evil for me in my religion,
my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter,
then keep it away from me and keep me away from it,
and choose what is good for me wherever it is,
and make me pleased with it
Instrument of Thy Peace
St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
love and peace

Words from the Tibetan Peace Flag
At this very moment, for the people and the nations of the earth, may not even the words disease, famine, war and sufferings be heard, but rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth and prosperity increase and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.

May Peace Prevail on Earth
We Give Thanks This Day
Rev O. Eugene Pickett
For the expanding grandeur of Creation,
worlds known and unknown,
galaxies beyond galaxies,
filling us with awe and challenging our imaginations
We give thanks this day
For this fragile planet earth,
its times and tides, its sunsets and seasons
We give thanks this day
For the joy of human life,
its wonders and surprises, its hopes and achievements
We give thanks this day
For our human community,
our common past and future hope,
our oneness transcending all separation,
our capacity to work for peace and justice in the midst of hostility and oppression:
We give thanks this day
For high hopes and noble causes, for faith without fanaticism,
for understanding of views not shared
We give thanks this day.
