Bless them, Lord,
the ones who suffer,
let me be a conduit for
your compassion,
train me to grieve at
injustice and strive to
make peace with my enemies;
let me tell the ones who
seek my life that the Creator
loves them, and speak your
grace to death, such
as the martyrs have done,
Amen.
poetry and prose by Gabriel Muoio
