“He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Luke 10:27
A Prayer For The World
“Let the rain come and
wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over
generations. Let the rain wash away the memory of the hurt, the neglect. Then
let the sun come out and fill the sky with rainbows. Let the warmth of the sun
heal us wherever we are broken. Let it burn away the fog so that we can see
each other clearly. So that we can see beyond the labels, beyond accents,
gender or skin color. Let warmth and brightness of the sun melt our
selfishness. So that we can share the joys and feel the sorrows of our
neighbors. And let the light of the sun be so strong that we sill see all
people as our neighbors. Let the earth nourished by rain, bring forth flowers
to surround us with beauty. And let the mountains teach our hearts to reach
upward to heaven. Amen”
