A prayer

This from a context in which a community was hit with the sudden shock and grief of violence and tragedy nearby.

Jesus our companion,

you inhabit the silence of meaningless pain

you breathe our wordless lament

you swallow the bitterness of our shock

Stay with us, Lord, and pray

Jesus our heartbeat through day and night,

you give us the imagination of hope,

the grammar of love,

and the courage of calm

Stay with us, Lord, and heal

Jesus our fearlessness

by your cross we are made whole,

to wait with those who suffer,

to tend the wounded

and to break cycles of abuse and violence

with the boldness of compassion

Stay with us, Lord, and hope

For yours is the power and the glory,

before, within, and after our grief

now and forever. Amen.
