Easter prayer
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Greetings readers! The Contrarian and I wish all of you the most blessed of Easter holidays.
On this, the most joyous day for Christians, let us remember all those throughout the world who are less fortunate than we are.
On this day of eternal hope and thanksgiving for such a loving God, I ask that you pause a moment and meditate on these sentiments:
Dear Lord and Most Loving God:
May there be a day soon when all people in all lands find sufficient food, clothing and shelter for the day.
May there be a day soon when all people in all lands receive good educations, good health care, and and meaningful work adequately compensated.
May there be a day soon when all people in all lands have the time and ability to enjoy reasonable leisure time.
May there be a day soon when all people in all lands have the right to speak their minds about their governments without fear of recrimination.
May there be a day soon when all peoples in all lands are respected as human beings regardless of differences in religion, culture and life style.
May there be a day soon when all peoples in all lands are free from fear of war, genocide, and violence of any kind.
We know that this is possible, because You are God. Give us your grace to work for these goals.
Amen.
Enjoy dear (and many of you are quickly becoming dear) friends, and don’t eat too much!
Tomorrow, we shall get back to normal business.
