Prayer of Jesus
Divine Birther of all that is – from the smallest particle to the vastness of the cosmos, you are present. Holy are your infinite names chanted, sung or whispered.
Abba, Beloved, Divine Breath, Great Mystery, Sophia
May we walk in peace, speak with tenderness, touch with compassion, and love unconditionally. With gratitude for the abundance we’ve been given, may we always share with any who hunger or are in need. May we be filled with humility and regret for the times we did not reflect your love. May we always offer forgiveness to those whose words or actions have caused us pain. May we understand our individual purpose and seek to fulfill it without distraction.
We pray what we believe and believe what we pray. Amen.

Father-Mother! Birther and Breath of All
Create a space inside us and fill it with your presence.
Let Oneness now prevail.
Your one desire then acts through ours, as energy fills all forms.
Give us physical and spiritual nourishment each day.
Untangle the knots of error that bind us, as we release others.
Don’t let appearances make us forgetful of the Source,
But free us to act appropriately.
Age to age, from you comes the glorious harmony of life.
May these statements be fertile ground from which our future grows.

This adaptation of The Lord’s Prayer for Transgender Awareness is from Dignity USA’sBelieve Out Loud initiative.
Our father, our mother, our beloved two-spirit parent,
help us honor your holy name in all that we do.
We pray that your justice, peace, love and mercy come to this needy planet.
Give all of us, transgender, cisgender, and people of all gender expressions and orientations, what we need each day to live and thrive. We need food, we need employment, housing and medical care. We need a loving community.
Forgive us our failings, the times we did not listen, the times we did not love, the times we looked away from neighbors in need, as we forgive those who have failed us.
Keep us from the temptation of intolerance, contempt and complacency in the face of injustice. Give us instead the courage to stand in solidarity with all your beloved children and deliver us from those who would harm us.
For yours is love, justice and peace, now and forever. Amen.
