The Lord’s Prayer English and an English translation directly from Aramaic
Our Father Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes
Which Art In Heaven Who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration
Holy Be Thy Name May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest
Thy Kingdom Come Your Heavenly Domain approaches
Thy Will be done Let Your will come true
On earth As on earth (that is material and dense)
As it is in Heaven As in the universe (all that vibrates)
Give us this day our Daily Bread Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily bread
And Forgive Us our trespasses Detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)
As we forgive those that trespass against us Like we let go the guilt of others.
Lead us not into temptation Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations)
But deliver us from evil But let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose. Ubuntu – ethnic or humanist philosophy often summarized as humanity towards others (literally – “you are a person only because of other people.”)
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Amen Sealed in trust, faith and truth. I confirm with my entire being.
Our Father Robert Greenleaf

Give us this day our daily bread Providing for the needs of all stakeholders, including community, employees and their families, shareholders, vendors, and retirees.
Forgive us our trespasses Let us not be lost in superficial things.
As we forgive those that trespass against us As we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes. Image of New York City on September 11, 2001
Lead us not into temptation Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose
Deliver us from evil But illuminate the opportunities of the present moment
Amen I confirm with my entire being
