Holy One,
You who speak in the Gita, the Torah, the Qur’an, the Beatitudes—
You who are She, He, They, Ze—
Teach us to love as You love:
widely, wildly, without condition.
Break us open where we cling to safety.
Call us into sacred discomfort.
Make us prophets of peace,
warriors of tenderness,
disciples of courage.
Let our duty be love,
our worship be justice,
our legacy be kinship.
To love.
To liberate.
To build the Kin-dom—together.

Amen
