We Pray

We pray, O dearest Lord.

We pray for kindness and love,

for compassion and empathy…

for blessings of hope and peace…

We pray for these in every heart.

We pray, in Christ’s name.

We pray for the days

when humankind will look…

will look upon one another

without baleful judgement.

We pray, beneficent God.

We pray humankind will wish…

will wish for each and every soul…

peace, love, and empowered fulfillment,

and for hearts of love and hope

We pray, O God of peace

We pray earnestly for the days…

for the days when humankind

will act for the freedoms, 

for the rights of self-empowerment.

We pray, Holy Spirit of Hope.

We pray for human rights…

for the rights of personal autonomy

in which we each, ourselves

may come to know, to grow.

We pray, O Lord of peace.

We pray all may know right-relationship

with You, the God who is love.

We pray for holy peace in hearts

that will lead us to such a world.

Amen
