I
am a Terran, a citizen of Earth. The
whole world is my home, and all its people my brothers, sisters, and
cousins of the One Human Race.
As a child of the Universe and an
instrument of peace, I will strive to bring love where there is hatred; pardon where
there is injury; union where there is discord; trust where there is doubt; hope
where there is despair; light where there is darkness; joy where there is
sadness.
May I seek to console more than
to be consoled; to understand more than to be understood; and to love more than
to be loved.
For it is in giving that we
receive; it is in pardoning that we are forgiven; and it is in dying that we
live. Amen. So say we all.
(Based on the Peace Prayer often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi but actually written by a French monk in 1912, a quote from ADM William Adama of the Battlestar Galactica, and on my own personal slogan.)
