Grant us the vulnerability to risk our difficult and complicated neighbor, projecting the lie that some people are made more in the image of God than others. Grant us the humility of a decentered but beloved self. As we continue to move towards what is in front of us, keep us from becoming what we are called to transform. Protect us from using the empire's violence for your kingdom of peace. Keep our anger from becoming meanness. Keep our sorrow from collapsing into self pity. Keep our hearts soft enough to keep breaking. Keep our outrage turned towards justice and not cruelty. Remind us that this, every bit of it, is for love. Keep us fiercely kind.
