Prayer Offered for August 21, 2024

The poet Gwendolyn Brooks has said:

“We are each other’s harvest, we are each other’s business, we are each other’s magnitude and bond.”

_{(“Paul Robeson” in Family Pictures)}

Loving God, Holy Mystery, we thank You for the energy that drives us toward creativity, and entwines our lives with each other. May our hearts be ever more hopeful as we continue to create that beloved community where all can enjoy the thrill of forging life and love in our precious State of California. We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
