In a time when Faith serves Empire, and those who count themselves righteous lay siege to conscience, O Lord give us a faith worth hating.

You promised “You will be hated by all on account of my name.” (Lk 21:17 RNJB) Instead we walk among those who hate for you. O Lord, let us “be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends.” (Lk 21:16 RNJB)

Hear the prayers of all who come to you for shelter, O Lord, not Dominion. Ignore the boasting of the crowd. Hear only the weeping of those your servants crush. We wait for you, “standing by the lake of glass.” (Rv 15:2 RNJB)
