Global Peace Meditation and Prayer
Creation of the Universe
When we quiet our mind and pray, we feel the prayers of all living things.Our prayers become the energy of love and healing, embracing the Earth, humanity, and all living things, and bringing all back to life.The creation of a new planet Earth begins.Even when human beings forget to pray, the earth, the seas, the mountains, and all living things go on prayingFor the time when humanity will awaken.When we quiet our mind and pray, we feel the prayers of all living things.Our prayers become light, illuminating the divinity in each and every human being.At that time, the Earth, humanity, and all living things become one, and a new universe begins.
