All Nations All Faiths One Prayer
WORLD PEACE & PRAYER DAY

We need a great healing,
And we need a Great Forgiving.
But healing can't begin without forgiveness.

We must
Forgive each other,
Forgive our loved ones,
Forgive our friends
Forgive our enemies,
Forgive ourselves.

We need to pray even for a person
who has done us wrong!
In our Tiospaye, our family,
when two people fight,
they are made brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness itself is a powerful medicine.
We need forgiveness to create Peace!

Mitakuye Oyasin!
(All our relations!)
In the Great Circle of Life,
Where there is no beginning
And no ending!

He-c'e-tu-yelo!
(So be it!)
