Sunday Prayer: Advent 3, Sixteen Days of Prayer Advocating for the End of Domestic Violence
For the speechless tongues of those oppressed
For weak hands, feeble knees, widowed, spirits
Made lame, we pray
For those orphaned from war, violence, fear
Parentless children, silent, stifled cries. For the
hungry, we pray
For wives, beaten, abused, trampled, shot
Spirits abandoned, imprisoned by fear. For
Women, we pray
In the dry land of desert wilderness, parched
Stranded spirit, a deer that cannot leap. For the
Broken, we pray
Blessed are those whose help is God
Happy are those whose hope is God, for the
Good News, we pray
For the Good News of God, born human, who
Comes to live and love us, as us, be glad, rejoice,
Singing, we pray
For hope, like blooming flowers in a dusty desert
For hope, compassion bursting forth, be strong!
God is with us.
Amen.
