Lord
God, we thank You for guiding us and correcting us through the voices
of prophets throughout the ages. We thank You especially for your
servant Martin Luther King, Jr., and for all who resound with his
message today. May we allow our hearts and minds to be turned by their
calls of repentance; may we open our eyes to the suffering around us.
Let the rivers of equality and empathy pour down the mountains of our
prejudices to water the broad plain of brotherhood and peace. Fill our
hearts with love to strengthen us to work for the Beloved Community. Let
us remember that our freedom stops when that freedom leads to the
suffering or oppression of others. Help us form a more perfect union,
establish justice, and secure the blessings of liberty for all, all in
Your Name, Mighty God.
Amen.
Amen.
