Thomas Moore’s Version of the Lord’s Prayer

Written By Thomas Moore

Our father the sky and our mother the earth,

may your names always be held sacred.
May your realm of love and grace be ours to live,
and may we accomplish your vision of a wonderful world.
may we do this here on earth as we know it to be in the otherworld.
Give us the food we need every day
and forgive us for all the shadow in our lives,
just as we try to forgive those who offend us and hurt us.
Keep us away from the lures of a distracting world
and save us from unconsciousness and evil.

Amen.

The Lord’s prayer, a version by Thomas Moore
