Prayers & Meditations

** Prayer for Children God, iḷisauttukki migłiqtut. Migłiqtut ukua nautchiagurut nautchiivigñi. Sialugnik aatchukki; siqiñġanik iḷumun ittuam qaummaġiksitki nakuaqqutikkun. Anuqsraaġiksitki nutaaġuqsaqtut aasii iḷisimalutiglu naulutiglu qiññaġikpagmiḷutik. Pamatchiraurutin. Nagliktaurutin.

O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate.

** Short Obligatory Prayer

Iḷisimarauruŋa, God-iiŋ, Iliŋun savaŋatilaamnik Iḷisimatquvlutin suli nanġaquvlutin. Quliaqtuaġigiga akkupak suaŋŋataiññiġa suli ilvich suaŋŋatiqpaiñ, uvanga iḷiappauniġa suli ilvich umialguniġin. Allamik God-aitchuq ilvich avatikkun, ikayuiḷḷarutin siġġaġniuġnami suli ilimik aŋalatchumiñaiqłuni iḷiruni.

I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee. I testify, at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth. There is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
