Today, given all that has taken place in the U.S over the past few days, we might pray the following prayer:
Our souls proclaim Your greatness, O God!
You have looked with favor upon us, your lowly servants!
From this day, we rejoice because You, O God, have done great things for us.
You have shown the strength of Your arm.
You have scattered the proud in their conceit.
You have cast down the mighty from their thrones and have lifted up the lowly.
You have filled those hungering for truth and justice, compassion and integrity with good things.
The rich You have sent away empty.
You have come to the help of those seeking goodness, justice and humble service; of those wanting leaders who are concerned for all people and are committed to the common good.
You have remembered Your promise of mercy, the promise You made to our ancestors--our forefathers and foremothers-- forever!
Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!
