This Day




Art by Carolyn Hall



Blessed Yah, Creator, Created, Creating...

We pray for change and hope,

For ourselves and the world:


Instead of anger, we choose kindness.

Instead of revenge, we choose justice.

Instead of resentment, we choose empathy.

Instead of work, we choose rest.

Instead of ideology, we choose compromise.

Instead of destruction, we choose community.

Instead of fear, we choose endurance.

Instead of acquiescence, we choose resistance. 

Instead of invective, we choose prayer.

Instead of violence, we choose peace.


Blessed Yah, Creator, Created, Creating...

We give thanks for this day of change and hope.

And let us say, Amen.
