We pray for the power to be gentle the strength to be forgiving the patience to be understanding and the endurance to accept the consequences of holding on to what we believe to be right. We are not called to be judge or jury, but we are called to be agents of change, and if the butterfly that flaps its wings should be our attitude to others then so be it, Lord, and may the hurricane this generates somewhere within the world reach into the hearts and souls of those for whom we pray, and reveal to them how precious are those for whom they have no love, and how precious are they who now bring tears to the eyes of God.Īs found on: A Prayer for World Peace, 1978 For nations and individuals who abuse and kill. We pray for those who have no regard for anyone but self, who put no value on human life. We are moulded, each one of us, in the image of God, and within our souls there is a fingerprint none can erase. Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB A Prayer for Peace And may I risk reputation, comfort, and security to bring this hope to the children. May my imagination overcome death and despair with new possiblilty. May my soul rejoice in the present moment. May my life's work be a passion for peace and nonviolence. May my prayers rise with patient discontent until no child is hungry. May my tongue speak for those who are poor without fear of the powerful. May my steps stay on the journey of justice. May my actions bear witness to the suffereing of others. May my needs be few and my living simple. May my love for friend, enemy, and outcast be without measure. May my mind seek truth with humility and openness. May my sprit fill the world with beauty and wonder. The first time that it was known to be publicly spoken was by Mother Teresa in 1981.

Why wouldn’t she act like she had already won her fight against Kraid before it started? Who would she show off for?īut that’s not to say that Samus doesn’t look cool - she always looks awesome.

She’s faced many of these threats before, and she knows how to neutralize them. This is one of the most dangerous people in the universe, and she knows it. While Samus rarely engages in vocal communication, her body language tells an engaging story. Action, pushing forward, and violence have worked for her - and guess where she is most expressive. More than that, talking never would have solved any of the problems she faces. Samus hasn’t really had anyone to talk to, so she didn’t talk. From the beginning, Metroid games have always been about isolation and self-reliance. Samus’ silence feels like a truthful reflection of the life she’s lived and the games she stars in.

Thank you, thank you so much for appreciating my work. I am so lucky to have voiced such a strong character and I am LOVING your reactions. Samus Aran doesn’t say much, but when she does, she really means it.
