An Earth Day Prayer to Our Mother the Earth

Lifelong Healing

I love that Earth Day and Good Friday are on the same day this year. I am gardening and praying to Mother Earth. 

Acupuncturist and healer Sally Norton, who makes rosaries, found this prayer in one of the lost gospels twelve years ago, and we used it when we did healing work with writer David Ray at the Hollywood United Methodist Church chapel.

Jesus said, "And after this manner, pray to your Mother the Earth:

"Our Mother which are the Earth, hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done in us, as it is in thee. 

As thou sendest every day thy angels, send them to us also.

Forgive us our sins, as we atone all our sins against thee. 

And lead us not into sickness, but deliver us from all evil,

For thine is the earth, the body, and the health. Amen."
