Peace
Many people feel helpless right now. With war and fear running the world these days there isn't much people feel they can do to change things. At these time many turn to prayer as a way to heal their fear and the fear of others. The following are a number of prayers for peace from different religions around the world. After the prayers is an invitation to a Peace Vigil. I received this via email and pass it on to you.
Studies have shown that prayer works. Whatever your religion or spirituality praying for peace is something each of us can do.
Whether you support the war or oppose it, helping world leaders lead through love rather than fear is always benificial. Also remember that this war isn't black and white. Someone who wants peace and opposes war doesn't mean that they support Saddam.
Blessing of Peace-healing (From 'The Little Book of Celtic Blessings')
"Deep peace I breathe into you, O weariness, here: O ache, here!
Deep peace, a soft white dove to you; Deep peace, a quiet rain to you; Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you! Deep peace, red wine of the east from you; Deep peace, grey wind of the west to you; Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you; Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you! Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you; Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you; Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you; Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you; Deep peace, pure grey of the dew to you; Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!
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 sleeping stones to you, Deep peace of the Yellow Shepherd to you, Deep peace of the Wandering Shepherdess to you,
Deep peace of the flock of stars to you, Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you, Deep peace from the heart of Mary to you, And from Brigid of the Mantle, Deep peace, deep peace!"
The Mantra or Chant of "Deep Peace" is a good one to use to invoke the feeling of peacefulness within yourself through out your daily life.
