Subject: Adaptation of a Seneca Indian Prayer

Dear Abbess, Brothers & Sisters,

I ran across of an adaptation of a Seneca Indian prayer on Google while I was looking for something else, and was rather taken with it.  The version I found on Google was adapted into poetry but not very well, so I took the liberty of tinkering with it a little more so the English and the format was more consistent with standard practice.  

An English Adaptation of a Seneca Indian Prayer

O Great Spirit, defender of the meek,
Your love and inspiration do I seek.
Every day, every hour,

I breathe in your life-giving power:
Power to love and to care,

Power to heal and to share,
Power to protect, power to endure.
Power to help, power to be pure,

Power to forgive,

And power to thank you for the life that we live.


 Br. Steven
