Let us send radiant light carried on eagle's wings to those who were slaughtered around the world in the name of terror. The shock of a sudden, unexpected severing of the silver cord, the spiritual cord that connects the sprit to the body, can confuse and disorient the untethered soul. Let our prayers of light and love illumine their path on their Sacred Journey. May our light burn bright like a thousand candles leading these souls home.

Let us send radiant light carried on eagle's wings to all the daughters and sons, parents and spouses, lovers and friends of all those left behind to grieve. Let our prayers of healing light touch their souls. May our love help to restore their faith in God and humanity. As their hearts cry out in anguish may we, with our light and our dedication to the light, ease their pain in some small way.

Let us send radiant light carried on eagle's wings to surround and bathe Mother Earth, and the nations and peoples who cry with her. May our light become their light. May our faith in humankind restore their faith. May our belief in the sanctity of human life become a prayer so strong that it illumines and elevates darkness and hatred everywhere.
