A Prayer to Our Ancestors

Our Ancestors,

Who are now in heaven,

Thank you for giving us your names,

Your faith realised,

Your ancestral spirits, 

Now existing,

Through our bodies and our minds.

Please help us always, 

Please care for and nurture us,

And try to forgive us our faults,

And we will try to forgive you for yours,

Please guide us down the right paths,

And protect us from significant harm.

For we are your children,

Your power and your glory,

Forever and ever,

Amen.
