July 21st Bhuddist Monk Prayer.. (I like the lack of vague generalities) The Prayer of Cesar Chavez (The California Gandhi)
From the Bakersfield Californian http://www.bakersfield.com Show me the suffering of the most miserable; So I will know my people's plight. Free me to pray for others; For you are present in every person. Help me take responsiblity for my own life; So that I can feel free at last. Grant me courage to serve others; For in service there is true life. Give me honesty and patience; So that I can work with other workers. Bring forth song and celebration; So that the Spirit will be alive among us. Let the Spirit fourish and grow; So that we will never tire of the struggle. Let us remember those who have died for justice; For they have given us life. Help us love even those who hate us; So we can change the world. ---------------------------------------- More information on Cesar Chavez' legacy http://www.cesarechavezfoundation.org > > 1.
