Unity Church of San Antonio

On Sunday, June 20, Rev. Linda led the UCSA congregation in a nationwide blessing for the Gulf of Mexico.  Rev. Patricia Reiter, senior minister of Unity of Venice, Florida, initiated this special prayer to surround the water, people, plants and animals impacted by the oil spill in love and prayer in order to convert frustration over the spill into a positive force for good. She is encouraging her congregation and others to continue in 100 days of this positive prayer for the Gulf. 

Rev. Reiter hopes the blessing service will help and support all those affected by the oil spill.  She says, “These prayers are a way to channel positive energy into this environmental crisis. I was feeling such anger, frustration and sadness, as I know many others are. What we know and teach in Unity is that our thoughts, words and feelings are creative. Negative energies will only channel more negativity. I believe this prayer event will give everyone involved a chance to feel they are doing something positive to make a difference for the Gulf and all its inhabitants.”

The blessing includes a prayer written by Dr. Masaru Emoto—an internationally renowned Japanese researcher and author whose research indicates that our thoughts can influence water.

At Unity Church of San Antonio, we join Rev. Reiter and her congregation and all throughout the nation to uphold the gulf and all it's inhabitants, both man and creature, for 100 days in this  positive prayer, which will conclude on Unity’s World Day of Prayer, September 9, 2010.

100 Days of Positive Prayer

by Rev. Patricia Reiter

In a state of divine union with God, I open my heart to allow the energy of pure love and appreciation to flow from me to everyone and everything. In the pure love of God, I am one with the earth, the air, the water, the soil, the trees, the plants and all their life-giving organisms.     

In the pure love of God, I am one with all beings on the earth. I honor, respect and cherish all living things.

In the pure love of God, I release all thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and ideas that are not in harmony with the highest and best good for all.

In the pure love of God, I make wise choices and take right actions to preserve our planet for ourselves and all future generations.

In the pure love of God, I hold all countries, corporations, businesses, organizations, institutions and their leaders in prayer for harmony, peace, collaboration, wisdom and smart decisions for the highest and best good of our planet and its peoples.

In the pure love of God, I am united with all spiritually conscious beings. Together we hold the high watch for positive change for our world.  In the name of all that is sacred, we daily lift our world family in prayer for health, peace, love, joy, wisdom, prosperity and safety.  AMEN
