Two Versions of
"The Lady's Prayer"

 Our Mother,
 Who art amongst us,
 Hallowed is Thy presence..
 Our realm is here,
 We sense Thee near,
 On Earth,
 which is our living Heaven..
 Teach us this day to bake our bread,
 And accept us in our human-ness
 As we accept each other,
 in spite of our limitations..
 Lead us not into domination,
 But empower us to freedom..
 For ours is this Air,
 This Fire,
 This Water,
 This Earth,
 Forever and Ever..
 Blessed Be..

 -- Variation on the Lord's Prayer by Mark Christian and Janie Young
 
 

Our Mother, who art eternal
blessed be Thy Name
Thy will be done,
on Earth, as it was in the beginning

Help us this day to stem the tide
of ignorance and hatred
And protect us from their temptations
and retributions

Forgive us our human errors
and help us to
Heal with love
those who trespass against us

For Thine is the meaning and the beauty
and the wisdom forever.

So Mote It Be.
