A Prayer
Tuesday 09 June 2020
Listen to the Prayer here.
God our Father and Mother of all,
the source of all justice.
Call us to radical action and not just empty words,
to the injustices in our nation, to those you have created and loved.
Forgive us when we close our eyes and ears,
to the injustices of those around us.
God our Father and Mother of all,
the source of all love.
Move us to a radical love towards those
who are hurt, angry and who feel abandoned.
Forgive us when we close our eyes and ears,
release us from our self-love so we can change a world in pain.
God our Father and Mother of all,
the source of all power
Let your Church speak out through the darkness and discrimination,
of your people, experienced daily by those in power.
Forgive us when we close our eyes and ears
to the shouts of justice and action
We ask these prayers in the name of the God of justice, of love and power
who calls us to bring love, peace and freedom to all people.
Amen
- Revd Nigel Cowgill
