Dear God,

Have we totally lost our ability to be civil with one another?  Have we forgotten your command to love one another?  Do we really want to remain in chaos and conflict, failing to find ways to build a bridge?

No matter which way we look whether in political matters, vaccine versus no vaccine or human rights, we find ourselves fighting, keeping us in emotional and psychological disarray.  I hate it, really hate it.  I believe we are better than this.  You created us with a capacity to reason, rationalize and rise to goodness.  Why do we reject that which you have given us?  I don't understand; I really don't understand!

Help us,

O Lord,

only you can.

Open our minds;

change our hearts;

make us new

again.

Have we

gone so far

there is

no way back?

Show us

the way,

your way,

Loving and Merciful God.

Yours, Andrea
