A Prayer of Remembrance and Repentance
Mama Gaia, Papa Starlight, your children we all do be, whether we dwell on the earth, fly through the sky, or swim in the sea.
You gifted us with life, and set within us a seed-like image of who we are to be. Help us unfold this image more fully, that we may come to know, love, and be one with our fellow creatures, just as you, Mama and Papa, know and love and are one with us.
Teach us to love those who are unkind and forgetful. We know the price they must pay, and know that we, too, are not reliably kind and mindful.
Be gently corrective with your human children, then, who so easily go astray, lose their way, and seem to be slow learners.
May Grace shield us from overeating the tempting fruit on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Once this tree has served its intended purposes, though, guide us to the tree of life, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations.
