Social Action Prayer

Found In: Pursuing Justice, Daily Prayer & Mindfulness

May we have the strength, wisdom, and clarity of vision to use our power to work towards bringing peace and an end to oppression of all kinds.

May our rhetoric of inclusivity not be mere words. May we actively engage in dialogue and action to end discrimination and prejudice. May we work towards creating a world where no one is subject to inferior education that renders marginalized peoples & histories invisible.

May we nurture local and global economies that foster sustainable growth and end hunger, homelessness, and inadequate health-care.

May we, and our loved ones be protected from harm and find moments to nourish and cherish one another. May we offer each other understanding and support as we travel on our sacred journey of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
