Our Father, Creator and All, who art in Heaven
I humbly kneel before thee to implore mercy
for those dying and suffering around, about me.
You created a sanctuary, substance and life—
everything to sustain us in our daily strife.
You stay beside us e’en when actions, words cut, a knife.
We are fragile, human, and apt to make mistakes but still
You listen to our prayers and then answer as You will.
I ask in the name of the Trinity that You heal…
those on Earth who believe and, therefore, lead others.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost … let faith never falter
when we kneel in faith, love, at thy holy alter.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I pray…
Amen
