Join Us even if you can't be with us in person!
Dear Friends,
This "Join Us" page gives those of you who cannot be with us in
Washington, DC, the opportunity to share your participation in this
extraordinary event.
To help us create a continuous prayer circle around the Earth for the Prayer Vigil, just hold the Earth in your thoughts and prayers at sunrise, September 29, 2012. You can do this alone, or with a group. You can do a silent meditation or a ceremony in your traditional faith. The idea is to come together as One People in Prayer for the Earth. One suggestion is to go to our Earth Meditation page where you will find a beautiful invocation. Say it at sunrise, alone or with a group. Wherever you are, just hold the Earth in the light.
You can also join us by sending us short prayers for peace and the healing of our nation and our planet. Please e-mail all prayers, which can be written in the language of your choice, to oneprayer4@aol.com. Use the subject "JOINING". They will be placed in our Prayer Grove and read out loud throughout the Vigil.
At the suggestion of Betsy Stang, co-founder of the Prayer Vigil, we ask you to consider inviting your friends from all over the planet to e-mail prayers to us.
Blessings,
Prayer Vigil for the Earth

Other Prayers, Ceremonies and Comments:
- Please add my family to this beautiful event. We will certainly be in prayer this day as in every day for the future of our earth. We feel honored to be a part of it. As Chief Seattle said in 1854 in one of the most prophetic statements made on the environment "Our God is the same God. This earth is precious to Him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its Creator".
- A prayer service in conjunction with the 2000 Prayer Vigil - A group of Catholic nuns focusing on social justice and prayer for the Earth.
- The playing of the Bhairavi in an Indian concert in conjunction with the 2000 Prayer Vigil.
