Prayer of the Day
King of all that is, has been, and will be,
Your son is Lord and Ruler of us all. His rule calls us to give in an empire that tells us to take, to be vulnerable when in an empire telling us to be calloused, to love when in an empire telling us to be indifferent. Your kingdom is for the marginalized and those who stand with those on the margins in solidarity and love. Help us to do for the least of these as we would do for you. Help us to obey your rule so that we might experience your kingdom.
In the name of your son, Jesus Christ, eternal king,
Amen
