prayer for peace
This is a ceremony using Prayers of Peace from several traditions and religions and philosophies, each of which is dedicated to the idea of Peace on Earth. Their Peace Prayer is one thing all these groups have in common.
In this ceremony one of the Peace prayers is read aloud and then the crystal singing bowls are played for a few moments, sending the intention of the Prayer into the Uni-Verse and into Mother Earth. Then another Prayer is read and the bowls are played again. Then another Prayer, etc., until all the Prayers are read and followed by the sounds of the crystal bowls.
History
Some believe heaven and hell are states of consciousness either in life or continuing after death; some believe in reincarnation; some believe that afterlife is nonexistent or not known or not important, as actions in life are all that matter.
The Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your 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.
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.
It is in dying, that we are born to eternal life.
