ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
August 23, 2021

Prayer for the Week
:
For the people of Afghanistan –
We pray for mercy, Holy One,
as we do not know what else
our prayers should contain
Images from the news
stories in the media
turmoil, fear, repression, suffering
Our hearts break again and again
as hopelessness consumes our thoughts
as a purgatory of despair covers us
Yet what we see
like so many things in life
has a history –
a long complicated painful history
We can help,
we can give to aid organizations
we can come alongside refugees
but it is a complicated historic mess
May those with a vision for true equality
never allow the vision to die
And may we always seek ways
of encouraging this vision
long after this story has dropped
from the news cycle
For the people of Afghanistan,
are your beloved
and their cries shall always be heard.
Amen.
