From Bless All Who Serve
Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness.
We know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.
We know that we are the ones
Who are divided,
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk the Sacred Way.
Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion,
and honor
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.
—Ojibway prayer
Praise for Bless All Who Serve
"I spent many cold lonely nights in Afghanistan hoping and praying for just such a collection. These simple meditations and prayers will provide comfort, solace and strength for years to come."
—Chaplain (Captain) George Tyger, Squadron Chaplain, 1st Squadron, 10th US Cavalry
