A Prayer for Justice

May I be no man's enemy, but the friend who is eternal and abides.

May I never quarrel with those nearest to me.
When I do, may we be reconciled quickly.

May I ever keep tame that which rages within me.
May I never become angry because of circumstances.

May I never devise evil against anyone.
If any conceive evil against me, may I escape uninjured and without causing pain.

May I never rejoice in the ill-fortune of one who has wronged me.

May I, when I have done or said something wrong, never wait for the rebuke of others but always rebuke myself until I make amends."

May I ever reconcile friends who are wroth with one another.

May I always help those in need. May I never fail a friend in danger.

When visiting those in grief, may I be able, by gentle and healing words, to soften their pain.

May I always respect myself.

May I love, seek, and attain only the Good.

May I wish Happiness on all and envy none.

May Gentleness ever be my way.

Marsha found this ancient prayer and woodcut while searching through obscure documents about the Goddess of Justice. We feel that this inspirational creed is more needed today than it was 2000 years ago. Would that people of all races, religions, cultures and philosophies would afirm and act on these principles daily.
