A Prayer for Justice
Father, you have given all peoples one common origin.
It is your will that they be gathered together
as one family in yourself.
Fill the hearts of mankind with the fire of your love
and with the desire to ensure justice for all.
By sharing the good things you give us,
may we secure an equality for all
our brothers and sisters throughout the world.
May there be an end to division, strife and war.
May there be a dawning of a truly human society
built on love and peace.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord.
My comment: if the thought of all men as brothers scandalizes you, or the thought of the rich sharing their bounty with the poor, or the thought of forgiveness, love, and peace seems dangerously naive, then it is time to summon the humility of a philosopher and the honesty of a saint, and examine your thoughts to see whence these errors creep in.
Do you love your political party above Christ? No worldly prince, party, or policy will save you. Only the Prince who hails from beyond the shores of the world can bring the gifts to us from that eternal realm: life, peace and blessings in this world, endless life, infinite peace, eternal joy in the next.
Aslan is on the move. He comes. Soon he will land in force. It were better for us to have our house in order before that terrible dawn comes. It will be brighter than a thousand suns, and no darkness will withstand those fires.
