Asbestoswear by Grant Gallup: Rosary Beads

Our Father and Mother Who Art.

Our Father and Mother,
Who are present in the world and in history,
Hallowed be your name in all languages and religions.

May the message of your reign come to each of your indigenous
peoples, the humble peoples, in the language of gospel and
not of the domination systems.

Let your will be fulfilled, your will of sharing and peace,
the alternative less of your indigenous peoples, the humble
peoples, even for our own society.

Let us live each day in the sisterly solidarity that produces
abundance and living joyfully together that all may have bread.

Forgive our massacre of cultures, and our colonizing evangelism.

And let us not fall into the temptation of fearing to be engaged,
of fearing to offend, of fearing to suffer,

But deliver us from the violence of consumerism, and of the forces
of power and domination.

For Yours is the Future, Yours the Reign that is Coming, Yours the
Glory and Goodness, for ever and ever. AMEN
