Prayer Offered for April 3, 2025

57 years ago today, Reverend Dr. King gave his mountain top speech the day before his assassination. Let us pray that we continue to practice the nonviolence that he lived and died for. 

Spirit of God, we long to heal the fractures in the world around us and within our own hearts. We long to recognize the innermost sacred dimensions of ourselves and all other beings.

Merciful God, put us in touch with our deepest yearning for a world pulsating with justice and truth, where all sit down at the Great Banquet and eat until they are full.

Help us to discover anew the courage to see and to listen, to take steps to stop the cycles of violence in our neighborhoods, in our country, and in our whole world.—AMEN.
