Prayer Offered for June 9, 2025
Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, RSM:
O God of all nations and peoples, You weep at fractured lives,
Inspire us to heal the hurting.
Help us to seal the cracks
Created by our complicity in failing to love.
May our words and actions speak love and not complacency.
May we choose love—
When faced with mindless hate,
Love—when faced with retaliation,
Love—when tempted by deception,
Love—when addressing all the issues of our time.
May we choose love—
When speaking with our neighbors,
Love—when lured by bad choices,
Love—when discerning leaders.
May we choose love—
When facing racism, sexism, heterosexism, exclusivism.
In all the things we do, in all the words we say,
May we always choose love,
And demonstrate our love with action.—AMEN.
