For all those who are suffering and will suffer from the violence - gun violence, racial violence, hate crimes - that continues to rampage throughout our country. Let us especially pray that all of our hearts will open to others and those with the authority to make changes through our policies and laws will be moved to do so.

On April 12, Muslims around the world began observing Ramadan. By fasting from sunrise to sunset for a month, our Muslim neighbors place themselves in solidarity with all other Muslims - in hunger as they wait, and in joy when they break the fast with our community.
When any of us hungers, we have a precious opportunity to recall the families who regularly lack food in our neighborhood. When we break the fast with family, friends, and neighbors, we grow closer to those around us.
To Muslim neighbors: Ramadan Mubarak! May this fast cause you to grow closer to Allah, your family, and your community.
To our congregation: may we know an abiding hunger for justice and true celebration with our community.

Please pray for my cousin Annette, who is more like a sister to me. I received a distressful phone call from her Mom over the weekend that she had a mild heart attack while vacationing in the Bahamas with family and friends. I pray that God and his Holy Spirit surround her and her family as she recuperates at home.

A prayer, adapted from Richard Rohr, OFM, offered at this month's meeting of the Board of Deacons:
O Creator God, thank you for living and loving in us and through us. May all that we do flow from our deep connection with you and all beings. Thank you for helping us to become a community that vulnerably shares each other’s burdens and the weight of glory. Thank you for listening to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our world. Knowing that you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer these prayers in all the holy names of God: Amen.
