GOD, I'M STANDING ON SHAKY GROUND.
MY FAITH IS WEARING THIN.
PERHAPS WE NEED A MIRACLE.
PERHAPS YOU NEED TO SMITE US.
FOR WE SEEM TO KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO.
WE ELECT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE OUR INTERESTS AT HAND.
WE CLOSE OUR EYES TO INJUSTICE AND CORRUPTION.
WE ARE MORE INTENT ON SAVING OUR PRIVILEGED SELVES THAN WE ARE HELPING THE POOR.
WHERE YOU HAVE CALLED FOR US TO STAND TALL, WE HAVE BOWED DOWN.
NOW IT IS NOT YOUR LIGHT THAT WE NEED, BUT FIRE.
OUR CHILDREN GET SHOT, AND ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THEM.
IF I KNOW YOU AT ALL, THAT WILL NOT HELP US.
YOU CALLED CHRIST TO ACTION. YOU DIDN'T BRING HIM TO US TO IGNORE SOLUTIONS AND GO ABOUT HIS LIFE UNBURDENED.
YOU CALLED HIM TO ACTION AS YOU NEED TO CALL US.
WE NEED TO CAST OFF THE BURDEN OF EXCUSE MAKING AND TAKE ACTION.
WE NEED TO STAND UP TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THE ONLY SOLUTION TO FEAR IS GUNS.
WE NEED TO DEMAND THAT ANYONE THINKING A WALL WILL MAKE US SAFER IS WRONG.
WE NEED TO TELL OUR LEADERS THAT WE DO NOT NEED SO LARGE A MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE WORLD. THAT WE CANNOT KILL OUR WAY TO PEACE.
WE NEED TO DEMAND HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EVERYONE, AND SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS, AND FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY.
IF WE ARE TO BE CRUCIFIED FOR ASKING FOR THESE THINGS, THEN WE WILL HAVE PROVEN OURSELVES TO BE WORTHY OF YOUR FAVOR.
THE TIME IS NOW AND THE HOUR IS LATE.
HELP US SHAKE OFF THIS HORRIBLE APATHY AND SELFISHNESS.
HELP US BE WORTHY OF YOUR MERCY AND GOODNESS.
AMEN
