Aramaic Lord's Prayer

translated by Neil Douglas-Klotz
from Prayers of the Cosmos

 

O, Birther of the Cosmos, focus your light within us -- make it useful

Create your reign of unity now

Your one desire then acts with ours,

As in all light,

So in all forms,

Grant us what we need each day in bread and insight:

Loose the cords of mistakes binding us,

As we release the strands we hold of other’s guilt.

Don’t let surface things delude us,

But free us from what holds us back.

From you is born all ruling will,

The power and the life to do,

The song that beautifies all,

From age to age it renews.

I affirm this with my whole being.

Ameyn.
