Prayer for An Election -1

October 29, 2024

Lord, as we approach this election, so move our hearts that the barriers which divide us may crumble and hatreds cease. May we as people from different cultures and different generations and with differing talents find with one another the fulfillment of our humanity. Eliminate our cruelty to those who are most vulnerable among us and strengthen our commitment to the Rule of Law and equal justice and equal opportunities for all. Amen

Adapted from The Book of Common Prayer

Easter 2022

April 18, 2022

He has risen

giving us hope

that we too can love sacrificially,

strengthen our communities,

pursue justice, and

survive oppression,

together.

Hope

that we can change the world for our children – all children.

Hope

that they might thrive, finding

food, water, shelter, and opportunities to use the talents God gave them,

together.

Hope

that we might move towards love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control,

and away from the politics of power and control.

He has risen.

Alleluia!

Amen

Caring For Our Kids

May 2, 2021

Bless our children Lord.

When we were expecting, the doctor told us, “a child is God’s way of saying the world must go on.”

Help us change Lord, for their sake.

Protect them from a legacy of fear, hate, and resentment.

Instead let them know joy, peace, and opportunity.

Help them love and be loved by their fellow citizens.

Give us all hope.

Help us change Lord, that our children might more fully live.

Amen
