I Pray As I Have Learned
My Mother, who always with me, hallowed be thy Name;
Thy presence known, Thy will be Love, at the Now as
through Eternity.
Give me this day my daily Bread,
And remind me of forgiveness, that I might remind others of
Your Grace.
Unveil my Path; help me to find Clarity and Right Action,
For thine is the Glory, the Grace, the Essence of Be-ing,
For Now and ever Always.
Amen
