(I wish I knew whose words these are so I could give credit where it is due. But perhaps it's enough for its writer that we are still praying these words, entitled Celebration of Life, in the inner city Community of Emmanuel (God with us)...
In the midst of hunger and war,
We celebrate the promise of plenty and peace.
In the midst of oppression and tyranny,
We celebrate the promise of service and freedom.
In the midst of doubt and despair,
We celebrate the promise of faith and hope.
In the midst of fear and betrayal,
We celebrate the promise of joy and loyalty.
In the midst of hatred and death,
We celebrate the promise of love and life.
In the midst of sin and decay,
We celebrate the promise of salvation and renewal.
In the midst of death around us,
We celebrate the presence of the living Christ.
+Amen, hiy hiy.
And Happy Birthday and happy holidays to my sister, Jeanine!
