Last weekend, my friend Clare posted a prayer on her blog. Written by Dominique Gilliard, It comes from the website "Red Letter Christians".
It seemed a good one to share, as the protests go on, and the injustice remains.
May God bless you with holy anger at white supremacy, police
brutality, and racial oppression, so that you may tirelessly work for justice,
freedom, and peace among all people.
May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those
who suffer from systemic racism, xenophobia, and anti-blackness, so that you
may sacrificially reach out to them in love, learn how to stand in solidarity
with them, and work alongside them to transform broken systems and structures.
May God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we
really CAN make a difference in this world, so that we are able, with God’s
grace, to help the Church do what others claim cannot be done: truly become an
interconnected Body, where when one part suffers, every part suffers with it.
