Continuing a general theme this week inspired by the Memorial Day holiday, allow me to present another prayer for peace. This one comes from the Muslim tradition, specifically from Hazrat Inayat Khan, a Sufi. [Here is some context for those who are new to reading my perspective or who have forgotten my approach to things like "God", "religion", etc.]Send Thy peace O Lord, which is
perfect and everlasting, that our souls may radiate peace.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may think, act, and speak harmoniously.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may be contented and thankful for
Thy bountiful gifts.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that amidst
our worldly strife, we may enjoy Thy bliss.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may endure all, tolerate all, in the thought of
Thy grace and mercy.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that our lives
may become a Divine vision and in Thy light,
all darkness may vanish.
Send Thy peace O Lord, our Father and Mother,
that we Thy children on Earth may all
unite in one family.
