The powerful and loving God!
You are the Creator of all worlds.

You created us human beings as Your representatives.
We are forever grateful to You, loving God, for our wonderful physique.
We human beings are grateful for all the different food You give us.
We human beings are grateful for the wonderful nature You gave us.
You gave us our Soul.
You, our loving God, You breathed this mysterious Soul into us.
You gave us Love as the highest human gift.
You gave us compassion.
Do lighten in us the torch of love and compassion for all human beings on this earth
All human beings on this earth urgently need Love, Compassion, Hope, Justice and especially Peace.
Do give us strength and lead us on the right path.
Let the Souls shine by means of the torch of Love and let them share Bread and Peace for all people on this earth.
You, the powerful God, You can do everything. We love You. Amen
