ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

Prayer for the Week:
Lord of Life and Liberty, on this day in which we remember and pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are mindful of the multitude of names we do not know, yet they too gave the last full measure of devotion to you and to the dream of human equality. Dr. King was a true and faithful servant in the pursuit of justice through nonviolent resistance, yet he was not alone in this self-sacrificing work. Like so often, the path of progress is stained with the blood of the martyrs. You know each of their names, and you have welcomed them into your Reign of Love that knows no end. May their steadfastness be honored, even if all we know is the legacy of their goodness. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
