Our Beautiful Planet and the Power of Prayer

On Sunday—Summer Solstice day—around the world, White Eagle groups met to pray for our beautiful planet. We have designated the Sunday nearest the solstice as our worldwide ‘Earth Healing Day’. I believe that all prayer, all good thought, can have an effect, but the effect of many people praying together with one thought, one aim, is very powerful indeed.

It is a wonderful thing when those in the public eye, those in high profile positions, take a stand and lead public thought in ways that can really make a difference. I think it is brilliant timing that Pope Francis’ encyclical on global warming and climate change has been released at this spiritually powerful time of the solstice., The Pope, as a spiritual leader of many millions of people, can indeed make a difference—he can lead many people in prayer for the well-being of our planet. He is doing this, but he is also calling on leaders in the world to change. He says ‘What would induce anyone at this stage to hold onto power only to be remembered for their inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so?’

So here in our White Eagle community, I urge us all to hold in prayer and in the heart of the shining Star key public figures like Pope Francis, that their influence to bring about change and upliftment of our planet may be as effective as it possibly can be. Let us also hold the vision of a healthy, happy world with all people living in harmony with one another and with the animal kingdom and all nature.

On Sunday at the opening of our service in the New Lands Temple, I read Grace Cooke’s vision… a new day, a new world (published in the White Eagle book Earth Healer.  I share it with you here:

‘I had a strange vision. I saw a great golden sun in the heavens, and it seemed to shine down upon a city, and all the buildings in the city appeared to be made of ice. They seemed to flash all colours in the sunlight, and it all looked very hard and frozen. Then suddenly, when it was least expected, the whole thing collapsed—simply melted right away and there was a fresh new earth. There were men and women on the earth ploughing and sowing, and it was a lovely day. The birds were singing and there was a feeling of healthfulness and simplicity and cleanliness. A new day had begun with the promise of a new life.’
