πŸ™πŸΎ God of love and justice,

Stand with those whose tables are empty.
Move through the hands that deliver food,
Through the hearts that resist indifference,
Through the voices that speak justice to power.
Come, God of the Kin-dom,
Tear down the halls where greed sits,
Shake the rooms where vanity prays,
Turn over the tables where apathy reigns,
And plant your love in the hearts of all who feed,
May we see hunger and act.
May we see injustice and resist.
May we see one another and recognize your image.
Because feeding individuals isn’t political.
It’s holy.
It’s justice.
Amen

πŸ™πŸΎ O God...

Our hearts break for the lives lost, the lives limited by fear, the lives overcome by grief. For the communities in conflict, the neighbors who can't find common ground, the families embroiled.

Holy One, infuse your peace into all these broken and hurting spaces.

Blow your Spirit of possibility and healing throughout your Creation.

Bless us, your people, that our hands and feet and hearts and minds and voices might be instruments of your Peace. Amen.
