A prayer for the fallen among us.

[Selatius]

We are gathered here to pray for this individual, whose name is now known only to God himself. We do not claim to know your judgment of the late Dr. Tiller, but it is beyond any of us to believe that you would condone the taking of human life against the very idea that all life is sacred. There are those among us who firmly believe it is your will to resort to violence and discrimination against women and gays on such issues as abortion and gay marriage. Jesus died for our sins, but he also tried to teach us to love all, to be compassionate towards all, but with the wayward now there lies hate instead. Please forgive them, for they know not what they do.

And please help light the path for us as we struggle towards the day that we all can call each other brother. Give us the strength to make that long journey, and let not our hope fade and our dreams of everlasting peace and brotherhood die. Give us the strength to confront the cruelty of the powerful who have inflicted misery on the sick and weak for greed's sake, and the strength to comfort and show love to the least among us. Amen.
