O Dionysos Eleutherios,
teach us to recognize the inherent worth
within every human being
and to rejoice in the richness
of our differences rather than fear them.
Where there is hatred, sow understanding.
Where there is oppression, awaken courage.
Where people are divided
by fear, ignorance, pride, or cruelty,
plant compassion and justice instead.
O Dionysos Arariskō,
may no one be denied dignity because of
wealth, gender, race, age or station.
Instead we should model you
whose rites are open to all.
O Dionysos Beboskēkaios,
may those who thirst and hunger
be satisfied, those who suffer find relief in you.
May the powerful learn humility
and temperance,
and the oppressed find
liberty, protection and hope.
May all of our people prosper
through the power of your blessing.
O Dionysos Luthēnaios,
help us build a society
where freedom is shared,
where voices are heard
and given due consideration,
and where no one is treated poorly
just because of their inferior birth.
Guide our hearts away from prejudice
and indifference; may we treat the stranger
with kindness, and ferociously defend our own.
O Dionysos Mēdōmethēs,
may justice walk beside mercy,
and may liberty grow
like a living vine
through every land
where your name is known.
