Replying to @UnvirtuousAbbey
for a new Season
Hope, rise anew
Faith, come alive
God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer
Peace, be with & through us
Justice, roll down
God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer
Truth, set free
Love, banish fear
God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer
• Do not obey in advance.
• Resist the wicked.
• Tend the vulnerable.
• Bear witness to truth.
• Shield the exposed.
• Claim reality.
• Wage love.
how long, o God,
how long will lands called holy
be stained with blood,
thy vulnerable children
slaughtered, starved,
hated to annihilation?
be mercy.
set free.
bear peace.
amen.
may you find your way
(however unconventionally).

wind our paths
along thy Way
unto peace
unto love
unto Thee.

in curving channels
& winding circuits
pattern
evokes
pathway:
into center,
on to world.
#prayinAround
As a nation corrodes,
allies & servants
of a predator criminal fraud
rig the system
to escape accountability
flood the zone
with hatred & falsehood
target the vulnerable
to cause pain & spread fear.
God, have mercy.
Amen.
Damning evidence keeps flowing from major investigations into the former chief executive’s treasonous crimes, yet we keep wondering whether it leads to consequences rebuking impunity.
— @sarahkendzior has repeatedly explained, there is a distinction between scandal & punishment.
“It’s a mighty poor
excuse for a god
that cannot
bear scrutiny.”
@WilGafney
deliver thy children, dear God,
from the hells
of genocide
starvation
predation
& abuse.
have mercy. amen.
Good God,
enfold in protection
thy children
in Rafah
who struggle to survive
a waking nightmare.
defend & deliver.
help & save.
Amen.
When you, when we,
behold & bear witness
as a nation rains devastation
on civilian refugees—
as a violent crackdown
hounds pleas for peace—
as predator bullies
sow lies, hatred, and fear—
what will you—
will we—do?
though a (rarely) rectangular
labyrinth may look & feel
less like #prayinAround
than its curvier relations,
nevertheless,
the way in
is the way out
& on
walking
along &
around &
in &
out &
on…
