The Monastery Prayer

The Monastery Prayer

The Monastery is built on a beautiful, perennial truth that we all share.  

We invite those who hear and feel our call to come, gather, belong and celebrate with us.

We recognise that the time has come to turn away from egocentricity.  

For each of us to take personal responsibility for the healing of ourselves, one another and the Earth.  

To step forward with confidence, authenticity and love, knowing we are supported and never alone.

We seek the Universal Truths that unite us whilst celebrating our diversity.  

We take pride in our personal traditions and beliefs and yet are humble enough to listen to, and respect the sometimes differing views of others.

Together, we recognise the Earth as a complete living being, which we are all part of and in no way superior to.  

It is in harmony with this great whole in all its mystery, beauty and intelligence that we honour and celebrate, today and every day.

In recognition of the connection that all living beings share, we join forces and pool resources.  

In shared knowledge and compassionate creativity we stand strong in kinship, wisdom, love and hope to celebrate life and humanity once more.
