Great Spirit,

Grant that I may not criticize my neighbor until I have walked a mile in his moccasins.

Prayer of the Day

Morning has risen.  O God, take away from our heads the sleepiness of the night, and from our limbs the sleepiness of the night.  During this day protect us from every kind of ill and misfortune that we may return safely home at night.
