I Have A Dream...
Today, O God, we honor those of our human flesh, who while on this earth, planted the seeds of hope and vision in our hearts: Abraham, Joseph, Leah, Moses, Ruth, Judith, Mary of Nazareth, Joseph, Jesus, Mohammed, Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, Chief Joseph, Harriet Tubman, Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr. , Gandhi, Our foremothers and forefathers of our homelands, Sisters of Charity: Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, Elizabeth Boyle, Irene Fitzgibbons Angela Hughes...
We stand surrounded by those Dreamers today, our need is great and our dreams are greater. And so, being in such great company, as these ancestors of ours…we look to you, because like them we place our trust in you, O Lavish God of Dreamers and Abundant Giver of Wisdom and Strength. AMEN!
