A Prayer in light of the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021
For all the ways that Christianity and Catholicism have been complicit in this evil ... Lord, have mercy.
For the ways in which the Christian and Catholic communities have failed to courageously seek transformation ... Christ, have mercy.
For the ways in which we will, even with sincere hearts and intentions, make mistakes in the work that is ahead of us ... Lord, have mercy.
May the God who inexplicably offers mercy to a people who keep hurting one another, forgetting they belong to one another ...
may that God not give up on us and keep sending the Spirit to renew the face of our nation and our world.
Amen.
