Latin-American Lord’s Prayer
(inspired by Matthew 6: 9-13)
God, who is in us here on earth,
holy is your name in the hungry who share their bread and their song.
Your Kingdom come, which is a land flowing with milk and honey.
Let us do your will, raising our voice when all are silent.
You are giving us our daily bread
in the song of the bird and the miracle of the corn.
Forgive us for keeping silent in the face of injustice.
Don't let us fall into the temptation
of taking up the same arms as the enemy.
But deliver us from evil.
Give us the perseverance to look for love, even if we fail;
so we shall have known your Kingdom
which is being built forever and ever. Amen.
