The Peace Church

The Peace Church



The truth is, there is man and there is environment. One does not supercede the other. The breath in man is the breath of Papa. Man is merely the caretaker of the land that maintains his life and nourishes his soul. Therefore, the 'âina is sacred. The church of life is not in a building, it is the open sky, the surrounding ocean, the beautiful soil .... -- George Helm (January 1977)


Oli Ho'oikaika
Prayer for Strength


E iho ana a luna
E pi'i ana o lalo
E hui ana na moku
E ku ana ka paia
That which is above, be brought down. That which is below, shall be lifted up.
The islands shall be united.
The walls shall stand upright!



Here are a few of my invocations that you might have heard on ArchMessenger and Da Coconut Wireless on BlogTalkRadio. Feel free to download and use for your own meditations. May these images refresh your Spirit!



E 'ala e


Ka lai I ka hikina I ka moana Ka moana hou honu Pi'I ka lew Ka lewa Nu'u
I ka hikina
A'e a kala

E 'ala e


Awake!
The sun rises in the east.

At the ocean,
the deep ocean,

Climb to the heavens,
highest heaven.

In the east,
is the sun.

Rise! Awake!

He kanaenae no Laka
A Prayer of Adulation to Laka

A ke kua-hiwi, i ke kua-lone,
Ku ana o Laka i ka mauna:
Noho ana o Laka i ke po'o o ka ohu.
O Laka kumu hula,
Nana i a'e ka wao-kele,
Kahi, kahi i moll'a i ka pua'a,
I ke po'o pua'a,
He pua'a hiwa na Kane.
He kane na Lake,
Na ha wahine i oni a kelakela i ka lani:
I kupu ke a'a i ke kumu,
I lau a puka ka mu'o,
K liko, ka ao i-luna.
Kupu ka iala, hua ma ka Hikina;
Kupu ka laau ona a Maka-li'i,
O Maka-lei, laau kaulana mai ka Po mai.
Mai ka Po mai ka olalo--
I ho-i'o i-luna, i o'o i-luna.
He luna au e ki'i mai nei ia oe, e Laka,
E ho'i ke ko-kua pa-u;
He la uniki no kaua;
Ha-ike-ike o ke Akua;
Hoike ka mana o ka Wahine,
O Laka, Haikuahine,
Wahine a Lono i ka ou-alii.
E Lono, e hu' ia mai ka lani me ka honua.
Nou okoa Kukulu o Kahiki.
Me ke ano-ai aloha, e!
E 'ola, e!


In the forests, on the ridges
Of the mountains stands Laka;
Dwelling in the source of the mists.
Laka, mistress of the hula,
Has climbed the wooded haunts of the gods,
Altars hallowed by the sacrificial swine,
The head of the boar, the black boar of Kane.
A partner he with Laka;
Woman, she by strife gained rank in heaven,
That the root may grow from the stem,
That the young shoot may put forth and leaf,
Pushing up the fresh enfolded bud,
The scion-thrust bud and fruit toward the East,
Like the tree that bewitches the winter fish,
Maka-lei, tree famed from the age of night.
Truth is the counsel of night--
May it fruit and ripen above.
A messenger I bring you, O Laka,
To the girding of pau.
An opening festa this for thee and mee;
To show the might of the god,
The power of the goddess,
Of Laka, the sister,
To Lono a wife in the heavenly courts.
O Lono, join heaven and earth!
Thine alone are the pillars of Kahiki.
Warm greeting, beloved one.
We hail thee!



World Peace Prayer

Lead us from death to life, From falsehood to truth,
From despair to hope, From fear to trust.
Lead us from hate to love, From war to peace,
Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe.
Eternal God, Creator of the universe, there is no God but You.
Great and wonderful are Your works, wondrous are your ways.
Thank You for the many splendid variety of Your creation.
Thank You for the many ways we affirm Your presence and purpose,
and the freedom to do so.
Forgive our violation of Your creation.
Forgive our violence toward each other.
We stand in awe and gratitude for Your persistent love
for each and all of Your children:
Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Sikhs,
as well as those with other faiths.
Grant to all and our leaders attributes of the strong;
mutual respect in words and deed,
restraint in the exercise of power, and
the will for peace with justice, for all.
Eternal God, Creator of the universe,
There is no God but You.
Amene.
