Prayer Offered for April 2, 2018

            Spirit of God, we long to mend the broken circle:

            To heal the fractures in the world around us, and within our own souls.

            Spirit of God, we long to see reality:

            To contact our deepest yearning for a world pulsating with justice and truth,

            To create a society where all sit down at the Great Banquet,

            Where all persons eat until they are full.

            Spirit of God, we long to discover anew the courage deep within us:

            To see and to listen, to discover our true selves,

            To take steps to stop the cycle of violence, in our homes, in our work-places, in our neighborhoods, in our country, and in our whole world.—AMEN.
