ʻIdál (Justice), 15 Jalál (Glory) 177 B.E. Wednesday, April 22, 2020
The Third Day of Ridvan

“There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.”

Brooke Medicine Eagle

Oh, Thou Glorious Lord,
Open our minds to see
Earth as a single country
And humanity as a single species.

Oh, Thou Glory of Glories,
Awaken our souls see
To the beauty of the planet
And give us the desire to unite
As protectors of Earth.

Oh, Thou Glory of the All-Glorious,
Forgive us the sin of selfishness
That has caused the present environmental crises,
And assist in making humanity and Earth
The bottom-line.
