Pour out humility on the mighty
and convict them of the evil
in superiority and domination,
oh Lord.
My heart is disquieted within
the real-word examples of suffering
caused by pride and greed.
My mind is heavy with the knowledge
of dissension, based on arguments
over the worthiness and belovedness
of those on the margins.
My soul longs for unity
based on the constant striving
to tangibly center
the imago dei
within all Creation.
Unity does not mean assimilation
but just-filled redistribution
of the resources and experiences
necessary to thrive.
May we tirelessly pursue
the unity of all creation
that translates into the
tangible flourishing
and holistic well-being
of all people
and all created things.
Amen.
