Holy Mother’s Prayer
|
Oh Lord, Please, accept our offering,
Bless us make us pure and all loving.
May we not accuse, demand or complain
But love respect and cooperate with all –
May we not find fault with others
But try to find our own faults –
May we not treat others as strangers,
But learn to make all our own.
May we feel the whole world to be our own.
Peace, peace, peace be unto all.
