Beneath your blessing hand, your Gospel Word,
we pray, O Christ our God,
cure the infection of racism, prejudice and hatred.
Heal the violent heart, the civil unrest,
distracting and devitalizing the nation
and so much of the world.
Before your icon, O Christ our Light,
we pray for the many who suffer indignities,
preventable poverty and savage death.
That your blessing would restore
and embolden us to good sense -
heart sense,
mercy, justice
and peace that all may enjoy.
We pray you, O Lover of Souls,
hear this prayer
and grant your kind mercies speedily.
Amen
Father Stephen P. Morris
