And Our Prayer for the Week from Judy Carman
GOOD NEWS FOR ANIMALS FROM VEGE-NEWS: Vegan Governor and
new Vegan Cardiologist. The Governor General of New Zealand, Dame Patsy Reddy
is vegan. She celebrated her nomination with a beautiful vegan banquet. John C
Teeters, M.D., the Chief of Cardiology at New York’s Highland Hospital
was inspired by Caldwell Esselstyn to adopt a plant-based diet for heart
health. He admits that most medical professionals do not get adequate
nutritional education. He now advocates for plant-based education.
FROM ONE GREEN PLANET: 40 Investors managing 1.25 trillion
in assets are using their influence to convince 16 giant food companies
(including Kraft Heinz, Nestle, Unilever, Walmart, and others) to
“diversify into plant-based sources of protein." Their goal is to help
stop environmental destruction and reduce the illnesses associated with eating
animal products. One Green Planet quoted Jeremy Coller, founder of Farm Animal
Investment Risk and Return Initiative, saying, "The world's over reliance on
factory farmed livestock to feed the growing global demand for protein is a
recipe for a financial, social and environmental crisis." And!! Beyond Meat has
a new plant-based burger. It is a “raw” burger that looks like
hamburger, and they are successfully selling it in the meat section (what we
know as a cemetary) so that meat eaters can make a choice for kindness and
mercy right there at the meat counter. Tyson Foods has invested millions in
Beyond Meat.
PRAYERS OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE: This week let us celebrate
all this great news. These things are happening because of all of you and all
the activists over the centuries who have not given up and who have kept going
against all odds. As we close our eyes in quiet moments of meditation, let us
feel how the energy field around the world is shifting. Divine Love has always
been present everywhere around us, but as our actions and prayers get in synch
with it, we elevate the vibration so that more and more people are feeling it.
The animals have always been in synch with it. We speak out for them to demand
their freedom, but they are teaching us and helping us teach others the true
way of being. Even while they suffer at human hands, they show us the way to
peace, joy, praise, and gratitude for every moment of life. This week let us
celebrate with the animals. Let us convey the good news to them in their
language—the good news that human hearts are awakening, and the time of
Vegan Peace for All Beings is coming.
As always, I send my thanks to each of you, dear Prayer Circle members, for
joining this circle of compassion and shining the Light of Truth for all to
see, so that one day soon, all beings will live in peace together. Our prayers
for all animals continue to circle the earth, to uplift humanity’s
consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves. Thank you for joining
people around the world who are praying these weekly prayers as well as the
Noon Prayer.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from Will,
Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
