We who know human power,
Who have seen it used and abused in the world,
Pray to you, cosmic God, power beyond power.
We are not stupid but we are sometimes silent:
Silenced by the strength of others,
Silenced by shame.
As our silence meets your fathomless silence
May it hold and heal us,
So that silence becomes the crucible from which truth emerges.

As we regain the power of speech
In the swirling cauldron of the Living Word
May we be reborn as truth tellers, peace pioneers and justice joy dealers
Swinging through the universe
On the coat tails of the Holy Spirit.

And when justice and peace come together
In lip smacking affirmation,
May we be there to bear witness
To the struggles, the challenges, the sacrifices, the love,
And embrace the glory of that endless kiss,
In the name of God, Creator, Redeemer, Revevealer.

In our life and our believing
The love of God.

14.10.2018 Psalm 85, verse 10.
