Good Friday musings...

Although I am not a particularly religious person, I consider myself to be a spiritual person.  Therefore I recognize and honor this very holy day.

On this holy day, my thoughts turn to the "Lord's Prayer."  Almost all of us know it in it's King James version and repeated each and every Sunday at church.  This version as we know it was first translated from Aramaic to Koine Greek...and from Koine Greek translated into Latin...and lastly from Latin into ole English.  Even with all of that translation...it is a wonderful prayer.


However, today I share the Aramaic to English translation.  Jesus spoke Aramaic...so this translation is much closer to what Jesus said and to what he meant  (although Rev. Nartoomid does add some embellishment):


The Lord's Prayer (as translated by Rev. Simeon Nartoomid)


Oh beloved Father aspect of All Creation 
Who resides in the eternal cosmos 
And Who art present in all things 
And all levels of creation.

May Thy name always be held sacred 
Within our hearts, our minds and our souls, 
And all of the earth.

May Thy Kingdom reign 
Upon the Mother earth 
As it is in the heavens 
Through our attunement to Thy Will.

May we be open enough to receive the sustenance of 
Thy eternal life every day henceforth, 
Which ensures our daily bread upon the earth.

And may we be open to Thy all-loving Grace 
Which cleanses us of all imbalances and impurities, 
As we also open ourselves to be a channel of 
Thy all-loving Grace for others.

And may our attunement to Thee keep us 
From straying from Thy Kingdom, 
And deliver us from any illusions 
Of our separation from Thee which spawn darkness.

For we recognize that the only true power, 
Glory and kingdom is Yours 
And can manifest within us, 
And our world, 
And is eternal. 
Amen.
