Dear Loving Spirit of Justice and Mercy, we address you today with a profound sense of longing for peace in a world deeply divided, compassion in the face of fear, and hope that endures even in adversity.
We extend our gratitude to the courageous individuals who stand up for justice. As a federal judge upholds the ban on birthright citizenship, let this serve as a poignant reminder that dignity is not a privilege but an inherent attribute of every human being. We pray for every child born on this soil, ensuring that their right to belong is never questioned and that no law can erase the sacred truth of their humanity.
We mourn with the people of Kerr County, whose lives have been tragically lost by floodwaters, exposing long-standing neglect. We extend our support to the officials who valiantly tried to address the crisis but were denied their efforts. We also remember the families who waited patiently for sirens that never arrived. May this tragedy serve as a catalyst for change, not only in policy but also in our collective resolve to protect one another.
We hold in prayer the asylum seeker who endured four years of waiting for a hearing, fleeing violence only to face fear once again at the courthouse door. His story serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of hope and the importance of remembering that justice, even when delayed, is not justice denied unless we choose to ignore it.
Amidst these somber moments, we celebrate the triumph of spirit. Amanda Anisimova’s remarkable achievement of reaching her first Grand Slam final has inspired us all. Her victory reminds us that resilience can blossom in unexpected places, and that joy, too, is an integral part of the tapestry of life.
For all beings—the grieving and the rejoicing, the powerful and the powerless, the seen and the unseen—we extend our collective prayer for peace, love, and enduring hope. Amen 
Whispers of Grace
