Dear God,

Today as Christians we recognize Good Friday.  Today we remember Jesus crucified.  In remembering his crucifixion, we need to remember all those who are being crucified simply by being who they are.  Native Americans have been robbed, cheated and given so little.  African Americans still get shot, marginalized and ruined because they are black.  The poor are kept poor by white demands.  And it goes on and on.

Today as we remember you, dearest God, you invite us to remember your beloved children being destroyed as well.  

Holy Father,

will we

always destroy

one another?

Will we fail

to do

as you ask

to love

one another?

Show us

the way home,

Gracious God,

so, we

may learn

and love

once again.

Yours, Andrea
