“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures
in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you. ”
At the Franciscan Spirituality Center’s annual summer program on June 25, we were joined in a communal prayer about the suffering and power of the earth when an attendant received the above prayer via her Blackberry.
By Masaru Emoto, famous for his book “Messages from Water,” this prayer has been making its way around the internet in recent months. The quote seems to be giving many another way to channel their sorrow for the most recent Gulf tragedy.
