An Ethiopian Prayer

Remember Lord
the sick among
your people: heal
them in your compassion.

Remember Lord the fruits
of the earth: bless them and
keep them without loss.

Remember Lord the
down-coming of the rains,
and bless them.

Remember Lord the seeds
and fruits of every year:
bless them and make them abundant.

Remember Lord the safety
of humankind and beasts.

Remember Lord the
afflicted and distressed.

Remember Lord the poor
who are under oppression:
have pity on them and
make them the dwelling place
of the HoIy Spirit.

Amen
