A Summer Gloria
Glory be to God…
for clear blue skies and sunny days
for fresh green grass and leafy trees
for vivid purple flowers and well-tended gardens
for fluffy white clouds and gentle breezes
for bright red buses and busy streets
Glory be to God…
for people stepping out with sandaled feet
for children playing games with delighted squeals
for picnics and street parties
for street traders and market stalls
for long days and short nights
for open-topped buses and open-necked shirts.
Glory be to God…
for seasons
for summer
for sunshine
For the people of the Holy Land
For the wounded,
and those facing a lifetime of scars,
for those desperately seeking medical treatment
where there is none;
Lord, have mercy.
For medical and emergency personnel,
risking their own lives
to save those of others;
Lord, have mercy.
For those who cannot see anything
but rage and violence,
that you would surprise them with mercy,
and turn their hearts towards kindness
for their fellow human beings:
Lord, have mercy.
Mighty and caring God,
you promised that, one day,
swords would be beaten into ploughshares,
meet us in our distress and bring
peace upon this troubled land.
Amen
