Something worth sharing: a prayer vigil for 90 days, from Oct. 23 to Jan. 20. United in prayer, we are guided through this difficult, transitional time. From Shannnon Willis:
May the forces that feed war, greed, oppression, and destruction be thwarted.
May the forces that protect life, uphold justice, and make peace possible prevail.
May we have the courage to help make it so.
May those who wield power against the vulnerable be restrained, and those who resist injustice be strengthened.
May the sacred powers, by whatever names they are known, shelter the displaced, protect the innocent, and awaken the conscience of those who do harm.
May the cycles of hatred that carry violence from one generation to the next be interrupted.
May truth pierce deception. May courage move through fear. May compassion carry us past the borders that divide us.
May humanity remember its kinship with all living beings, and may the Earth be released from the violence inflicted upon her.
Amen.
