| A candle is lit at the place where Michael Brown was shot by a Ferguson police officer on August 9, 2014. Protests and looting continue to plague the city in north St. Louis County. |
We pray for the crisis in Ferguson. Lord, have mercy upon us.
Send your blessing upon us, O God of all Mercy.
Call us to peace: peace in our hearts, and peace in our communities.
Call us to peace: peace that is based upon justice and mercy.
Call us to peace: peace that is based on commitment to mutual respect and our interdependence upon each other.
Call us to peace: peace that is based on repentance for all of our wrongs, and a determination to do right.
Call us to peace: peace that is based on forgiveness for those who have wronged us.
Call us to peace: peace that is based upon comfort for the mourning and the frightened.
O God, Ground and Source of our being, give the peace of your blessing upon these who cry out to you.
Amen.
