Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water who is so useful, humble, precious, and pure. - From The Canticle of the Creatures by St. Francis of Assisi The First Nation PrayerWe give our love and thanks to all water in the world
We pray that all races in the world will have clean water We pray for the people in the north south, east, and west We are the same. We give our love and thanks (I speak for the people of the East) All life begins with water. It protects and nurtures us in the womb. We also protect and nurture the water of Mother Earth We are the same. We give our love and thanks to the water (I speak for the people of the South) Our bodies are mostly water. Water runs through our body Like the rivers and the lakes run through Mother Earth We are the same. We give our love and thanks to the water (I speak for the people of the West) We respect all of Creation and we are very grateful for the water It nourishes the trees, plants, animals, birds, fish and insects We are the same. We give our love and thanks to the water (I speak for the people of the North) Water is healing and falls from the sky to heal Mother Earth Just as our tears of laughter and sadness heal our spirit We are the same. We give our love and thanks to the water We give our love and thanks to Grandmother Moon And the four elements of earth, air, fire and water Together they bring balance and harmony to Mother Earth We are the same We give our love and thanks Miigwech Written by Mnjikaning Community & Family Services For World Day of Love & Thanks to Water Victoria Park, Mnjikaning First NationJuly 25, 2005 |
