Voices of hate;
The chanting of division;
They shout about pride,
but there is no pride in rancor and malice.
You created us, O Holy One of Life,
with such an amazing capacity for love,
Yet it has been usurped
by fear masquerading as brotherhood.
It has been lost
in the dense cloud of human insecurity.
O Creator of all humanity,
the story you have told in our rich diversity
challenges the narrative of every army
that has raised up the swastika.
Even the most horrific symbols
of humanity’s destructive capability
shall not find victory
in love’s triumphant declaration
from an empty tomb.
Let this be the essence of our witness!
Let this be our unwavering conviction!
We offer these words in the belief
that you are with us
as we seek to embody the Gospel imperative
of being light and love
to a lost and broken world. Amen.
