  • A Blessing for all in Pain - Kate Bowler

    This world.
    Impossible.
    Unthinkable.



    We are brought to our knees.
    God, today, there is no true north.
    And when I last checked,
    the sun did not rise at all.
    Today, the innocent still suffer,
    teachers still risk their lives,
    families still grieve.

    A world has ended without
    any reasonable fanfare.
    And we are sold the fantasy that nothing can be done.

    Help us to know what to feel – rage, grief, sorrow.
    And what to do – advocate, protest, lament.



    Blessed are we who let reality in,
    though our bodies shudder.



    Blessed are we who ask and wait, and ask again
    for the courage to change our culture
    whose laws and complicity subsidize death.

    God, give us hope that seems hard to find.
