Opening Invocation

"A Spiorad na Cosanta, clois gártha na ndaoine. Tabhair dúiné neart agus solas."("O Spirit of Protection, hear the cries of the people. Grant us strength and light.")

On this day, we gather to focus our energy on those who are most vulnerable—undocumented individuals and families who face harm, fear, and uncertainty. Let us stand as guardians of their dignity and rights, weaving a shield of love and protection through our intentions.

Grounding in the Elements

Begin by sitting comfortably. Place your feet firmly on the ground and feel the connection to the earth beneath you. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. With each inhale, draw in the strength of the elements: the grounding of earth, the flow of water, the vitality of fire, and the freedom of air.

Whisper softly:

"Le cúinéas an talamh, le sreabhadh an uisce, le lasracha na tine, le neart an aer, cosnóidh mé iad."("With the stillness of the earth, the flow of water, the flames of fire, and the strength of air, I will protect them.")

Visualization of Shelter

Now, picture in your mind’s eye a vast sanctuary, a safe haven filled with warmth and light. Imagine this sanctuary open to all who seek refuge. See families finding peace, children laughing, and elders resting without fear.

Say aloud or silently:

"Tabhair dúiné cosaint na beatha, fáilte roimh gach duine faoi scáth an Dúra."("Grant the protection of life, a welcome to all under Nature’s shelter.")

Feel the power of this vision radiating outward, forming a protective circle that no harm can penetrate.

Chant of Courage and Justice

Let us chant to summon courage for those who face injustice and to affirm their right to safety:

"Neart, dóchas, agus cearta dóibh siúd a bhfuil i mbaol."("Strength, hope, and rights for those who are in danger.")

Repeat the chant slowly, feeling its rhythm synchronize with your heartbeat. Envision the chant as a wave of energy, spreading across borders and barriers, lifting the spirits of those in need.

Prayer for the Vulnerable

Place your hands over your heart and bow your head. Offer this prayer:

"A Dhia na Síocha, cosain na daoine gan doiciméad. Tabhair dóibh foscadh agus saoirse. Tabhair dóibh guthanna a n-aireofar."("O Spirit of Peace, protect the undocumented people. Grant them shelter and freedom. Give them voices that will be heard.")

Feel your heart fill with compassion and resolve. Trust in the collective strength of those who stand against injustice.

Closing Blessing

As we end, give thanks to the elements and the Spirit of Nature:

"Buíochas leis an saol, buíochas leis an gcóir, buíochas leis an ngrá."("Gratitude to life, gratitude to justice, gratitude to love.")

Carry this energy with you. Let your actions, no matter how small, reflect your commitment to standing with those who are vulnerable and oppressed.
