Justice Is Our Prayer

In the foreground there is a mostly leafless sapling, standing in a field of brown grass. In the distance, at the far edges of the field, there much larger trees, still with green leaves.

We gather together today with sacred intention to declare that Justice is our prayer.
We affirm in covenant with the Beloved Community that is possible.
Not here, not quite yet.
The seeds have been planted time and again,
and we remember all those who went before us who made Beloved Community a dream that could be realized.

Justice is our prayer.
May our time of worship/service together continue to water the budding trees of our diverse interdependence.
May our time of worship give air and nourishment to the parts of our collective spirits
that need to grow and thrive;
that embrace equity as a known way of being.

Justice is our prayer.
We affirm in covenant with the Beloved Community that is possible.
May it be so.

Let us worship together.
