Lords Prayer Translated
from Aramaic
A Translation of "Our Father" directly from Aramaic into English
O cosmic Birther of all
radiance and vibration. Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space
within us where your Presence can abide.
Fill us with your creativity
so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear
fruit in accordance with our desire.
Endow us with the wisdom to
produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.
Untie the tangled threads of
destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past
mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by
that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the
opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground and
the fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and
made whole once again.
Lords Prayer, from the
original Aramaic
Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the Cosmos
O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-
through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within
so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each
other.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true
purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.

(English translation

Oh Shimmering, Eternal
and Sensuous Presence that Illuminates all!
We are restored in our
holy union with You
as we cease our
activities
and breathe Your holy
Breath.
You are melting our
rigidities
as our mystical union
infuses our earthly forms
with the power of Your
Light and Your Love.
This infusion of Your
Wisdom will carry us through
the sacred moments of
this day.
And as Your Light
infuses and dissolves our hidden fears,
we extend and share
this Light so that others too
can dissolve the
hidden fears within them.
Your streaming rays of
Wisdom and Power
release us from all
forgetfulness
that lead to the
constructions
of useless fear.
And NOW!
Your Illumined stream
of Radiant Light is embodied
and Your Presence is
here as us;
carrying us in Your
stream of Grace
from moment to moment
and from gathering to
gathering.
We feel these words in
our heart
with unwavering
commitment,
trust, celebration and
gratitude.
