= JESUS PRAYER 1

	Our Father, our Mother,
	on earth and in heaven:
	holy is Your name.
	May Your wisdom come,
	Your will be done,
	here and now,
	as it was in the beginning.
	Creator,
	on earth and in heaven:
	holy is Your name.

= JESUS PRAYER 2

	God, lover of us all,
	most holy one,
	help us to respond to you
	to create what you want for us
	here on earth.
	Give us today enough for our needs;
	forgive our weak and deliberate offenses,
	Just as we must forgive others when they hurt us.
	Help us to resist evil and to do what is good;
	for we are yours,
	endowed with your power
	to make our world whole.

= JESUS PRAYER 3

Eternal Spirit,
Earth Maker, Pain Bearer, Life Giver,
Source of all that is and that shall be,
father, mother of us all.
Loving God, in whom is Heaven:
the hallowing of your name echoes
through the universe.

The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world.
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings.
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.

With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In time of temptation and test, strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For You reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever.      Amen.
= JESUS PRAYER 4

O Gracious loving God
You who live in us here on earth
Holy is your name.
In the hungry who share their bread and song
Your kingdom come,
A generous land where confidence and truth reign.
Let us do your will.
Bring a cool breeze for those who sweat.

You are giving us our daily bread
When we manage to get back our lands
Or to get a fairer wage.
Forgive us
For keeping silent in the face of injustice
And for burying our dreams.
Don’t let us fall into temptation
Of taking up the same arms as the enemy.
But deliver us from evil which disunites us.
And we shall have believed in humanity and life
And we shall have known your Kingdom
Which is being built for ever and ever.
