The Aramaic Approximation of the Lord's Prayer 


O Birther! Father ~ Mother of the Cosmos, 


You create all that moves in light. Focus your light within us. Make it useful ~ as the rays of a beacon show the way. Create your reign of unity now ~ through our fiery hearts and willing hands. 


Your one desire then acts with ours, as in all light, so in all forms. 


Grant what we need each day in bread and insight: subsistence for the call of growing life.


 Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others' guilt. 


Don't let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back. 


From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews. 


Truly – power to these statements --- may they be the source from which all actions grow. Sealed in trust and faith. 

Amen
