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.
