From yesterday’s ”prayer of the day” section of Sojourner’s 1-22-2010 ”Verse and Voice” :
“Break our hearts, Lord, break our hearts. For the lives lost in Haiti, each one loved by you, break our hearts. For thoses who have lost family members–sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers–break our hearts. For those who have lost homes and belongings, who sleep on the streets, break our hearts. For the crippling poverty that afflicts millions of Haitians, break our hearts. For our complicity in the sinful structures and systems that lead to oppression and injustice, break our hearts. For the state of your creation–groaning for redemption and restoration–break our hearts. And then put us back together so that with peace, humility, and your perspective, we might work toward seeing your kingdom on earth”.
Amen
