Holy Spirit of many names
and of no name,
Source of Life and Love,

Create in us a spark
to move beyond thoughts and prayers
into discernment and action.

Help us find courageous ways
to turn away from violence,
and beat our swords into plowshares.

Bless our hearts, minds and hands
in bringing healing to the sick and hurting.

And may we find forgiveness for the ways
we have visited violence against ourselves,
others, and the Earth.

By embracing our role
in bending the arc of history
away from bloodshed
and toward justice.

May it be so. Amen.
