Saint Basil's Prayer

 

The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

Dear God, enlarge in us our sense of fellowship

with the animals to whom Thou gave the earth

to be a common home before us

and who share with us the toils, trials, and joys of life.

We remember with sorrow that, in the past,

we have often exercised the high dominion of our kind

with ruthless cruelty so that the voice of the earth

which should have gone up to Thee in song

has so often risen instead as a groan of travail.

May we realize that they live not for us alone

but for themselves and for Thee

and that they, too, love the sweetness of life.

 

Amen.

 

 

Prayer of Saint Basil of Caesarea

Deeper Sense of Fellowship

With all Living Things

 

O God, grant us a deeper sense of fellowship

With all living things

Our little brothers and sisters

To whom in common with us

You have given this earth as home.

 

We recall with regret that in the past

We have acted high handedly

And cruelly in exercising our domain over them

Thus the voice of the earth

Which should have risen to you in song

Has turned into a groan of travail.

 

May we realize that all these creatures

Also live for themselves and for you,

Not for us alone.

They too love the goodness of life,

As we do, and serve you better

In their way than we do in ours.

 

Amen.

 

Prayer of Saint Basil the Great

 

O Lord our God, we beseech you,

to ask for the gift we need.

Steer the ship of our life to yourself,

the quiet harbor of all storm-stressed souls.

Show us the course which we are to take.

Renew in us the spirit of docility.

Let your Spirit curb our fickleness;

guide and strengthen us to perform

what is for our own good,

to keep your commandments and ever to

rejoice in your glorious and vivifying presence.

Yours is the glory and praise for all eternity.

 

Amen.
