Prayer for Unity and Peace

In times of intolerance and divisiveness,
May She bring us together.

The Middle Way teaches us that all boundaries are illusory,
That we create the divisions that appear between us.

May we rise above the boundaries that isolate us,
May we see them for what they are,
May we cease to give them form,
May we respect each other fully.

The Middle Way teaches us that for us to find peace,
We must learn to give peace, unconditionally, with loving compassion.

This is difficult for me.

Help me see fear and anger
For what they are;
And to see others for who they are -
My brothers and my sisters.

Help me to give my peace
Even when it is not given to me.
Let me be your beacon, oh Goddess;
Let them know you by knowing me.

May we hear Her and follow Her,
However She calls us,
However we call Her,
And live in Her peace.
