James O'Dea: Prayer for the Soul of America

May we share in our deepest hearts this beautiful prayer. 

Gratitude for all who remind us of what we may have forgotten 

and what most matters.  ~ Molly💜

Prayer for the Soul of America

Let Light prevail in America --the kind of light

in which we see our oneness.

Let Harmony prevail in America--the kind of harmony

in which we celebrate our great diversity.

Let the Way of Nature prevail in America-- the kind of Way of Nature

that restores the health of air, oceans and forests.

Let Peace prevail in America--the kind of peace

that breathes freedom and true justice for all.

Let Compassion prevail in America--the kind of compassion

that dissolves shaming and blaming.

Let the union of economy and ecology prevail in America--the kind

of union of economy and ecology that serves

the sustainability of all in the web of life.

Let imagination and the spirit of creativity prevail in America—the kind

of imagination and spirit of creativity that shines a light on our

better angels and how to evolve our dance together.

Let Love prevail in America-- the kind of love that reaches out

generously to a suffering world and which refuses

to lose hope in a planetary civilization rooted

in the power of collective love.
