Prayers For Our Country

As we contemplate both the political season that is upon us, and the Christmas season that is coming to a close, let us hear the prophet’s cry:

If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger, and malicious talk,

If you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,

then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.

Is. 58:9b-10

Save us O Lord from hatred and discord, from factions and greed.  Help us to connect with each other, reflecting the love, peace, and hope that lies within your birth. Gal. 5:16-26.

Guide us O Lord throughout the new year.

Amen
