Prayer Offered for February 7, 2022

I dream a world where all will know sweet freedom’s way,

Where greed no longer saps the soul

Nor avarice blights our day.

A world I dream where black or white,

Whatever race you be,

Will share the bounties of the Earth

And every [one] is free,

Where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind—

Of such I dream, my world!

Spirit of Abundance, God of Grace, Mother of Hope, in this month of remembrance, we acknowledge and embrace the power and creativity that our Black sisters and brothers have contributed for the growth of this nation. Continue to widen our vision so that together we may bring our world closer to harmony and peace, communion and solidarity.—AMEN.
