Apologies for no recent posts here is today. An alternative way of expressing a well known thing.
THE LORD’S PRAYER: MAORI & POLYNESIA
Eternal Spirit,�Earth-maker, Pain bearer, Life-giver,�Source of all that is and that shall be,�Father and Mother of us all,�Loving God, in whom is heaven:
The hallowing of your name echo through the universe;�The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world;�Your heavenly will be done by all created beings;�Your commonwealth of peace and freedom�sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.�In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.�In times of temptation and test, strengthen us.�From trial too great to endure, spare us.�From the grip of all that is evil, free us.�For you reign in the glory of the power that is love,�now and forever. Amen.
