Prayer for the Earth by Marianne Williamson, in "Illuminata"   Dear God, Please bless and protect this sacred jewel, Our vulnerable planet so besieged. May the rivers and the oceans and the sky and the land All be repaired somehow, dear Lord. May the barbarism end, which threatens to destroy our priceless treasure. For surely the earth has been our home. The home of our parents until all generations. For the sake of our children, Lord. Save this earth. Place in all minds a greater awe before her mysteries. Shield her and heal her wounds. Restore her to her former glory. Save her, Lord, from us. Amen.
