A Prayer for National Gun Violence Awareness Day

On By Justin AlmeidaIn Politics, Religion, SpiritualityLeave a comment

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.

Holy Mother of Life and Love,
that which moves the seed to sprout,
and the cell to divide,
bless all who channel your Spirit.
Give us your Strength to persevere,
your Passion to flourish,
your Peace to heal.
Remind us of your divine feminine spark,
which restores us into Relationship,
Equity, and Justice.
And help us build a world free
of supremacy and violence,
where all can live and thrive.
May it be so.

Spirit of Life and Love,
which moves Human hearts,
minds, and hands
to care for our Neighbors
and our Mother Earth
fill our spirits with your Peace.
Empower us to know our own strength
To do Justice
To love Mercy
To walk Humbly.
May we remember old ways,
and create new ways,
to be people of Peace in the world.
And with blessing,
transform the World’s pain
before it can be transmitted.
May it be so.
