The Our Father - translated from Aramaic by the Nazarene Essenes

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration. Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity so that we may be emboldened to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again. Amen.

  1. This is a beautiful prayer. Do you know why it is so different from the one in the Gospels?

  2. I do like this prayer as well. I don't know the answer to your question and I imagine it went through a few translations. Here is the website that you can check out: http://www.thenazareneway.com
