Spirit of love and forgiveness surround me
draw near - enthuse my soul - so nearly lost
to repulsion and grief at atrosities mounting;
let not hatred rise - nor my peace be the cost
for eyes that see clearly the monsters behind this
insanity. let not my wrath be provoked,
nor sorrow or helplessness enter this mind
where compassion is weaving a fabric of hope.
Spirit of love let me give consolation -
not fear at delusions - nor let them control
the clarity gained through prayer, meditations.
let charity reign - to the height of the Soul.
give wisdom through me unto deep understanding
of how much more love and light evil requires
to be cured! - let the remedy come from my hand
with benevolent purpose - compassion inspired.
Dear Spirit of Saints and Redeemers empower
my heart to embrace both the victims and foes;
a salve for their wounds - 'til the rose of peace flower
and beings are freed of such fetters and throes
