Thanksgiving for the Call to Promote Peace and Justice
Thanksgiving for the Call to Promote Peace and Justice
by: Jane Deren, PhD
We choose to live grounded
in your love, God of goodness,
And to your proclaim your wisdom,
the path of justice and peace.
We are thankful for your call,
For the Spirit that graces us,
For the social issues that engage us, and
For the communities that embrace us.
You have gifted us
And called us by name.
Even in times of darkness
We are moved toward
The Light of your Word.
We form the word peace,
We sing out the word of justice,
And we become, again and again,
Part of the chorus that echoes
Your music, your hope, your vision.
O God Source of Life, Creator of Peace,
help Your children, anguished and confused
to understand the futility of hatred and violence
and grant them the ability to stretch across
political, religious and national boundaries
so they may comfort horror and fear
by continuing together
in the search for justice, peace and truth.
With every fiber of our being
we beg You, O God, to help us not to fail nor falter. Amen.
Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit working in our lives daily---working alongside us to learn self-control, love for others, showing peace and joy, teaching us to be generous, gentle and kind and building our faith in loving God the Father, Jesus the Son and Mother Mary.
