“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy." Matthew 5:5-7
by your grace, God of all,
may we always remember
that the meek are not doormats
for the arrogant to wipe their feet
but the ones who, in quiet watchfulness,
are able to point us to the vulnerable
you would have us carry as far as needed,
may we stop thinking that justice
is a full-service restaurant where
we can eat our fill while others starve,
and may we never forget
that is mercy - simple, gentle mercy -
which is the role model you would
have us emulate in a world which
idolizes cruelty to the point of blasphemy.
