Thank you Bishop Karen Oliveto for this prayer

Whether you find yourself trembling or cautiously hopeful. Whether you are holding your breath or pacing to and fro.... Whether you are seeking silence and quiet or busying yourself with labors you believe in. Whether you are rallying or praying or supporting or readying or making every last effort you possibly can. Keep close to your precious spirit and your holy skin and your brave being and your sacred imagination the knowledge and assurance that whatever will be, whatever will become, whatever waits before us, we are capable of rising to meet it if we do so together. Together, for justice. Together, for protection. Together, in solidarity. Together in love practiced where and how it is needed most. We will have work to do and undo. We will find beauty to sustain us. We will need to adapt and create and heal and fight. We will. Whatever is. So come take your place in the long lineage of hope that persists through empires' rising and falling. Try to keep your pace aligned with the spirit - that steady pulse of divine possibilities beating to the rhythms of creation: slow and grounding, ancient and purposeful, unwavering and persistent in adamant defiance of anything that comes to steal life.

These words sit on top: So come take your place in the long lineage of hope that persists through empires' rising and falling. Try to keep your pace aligned with the spirit - that steady pulse of divine possibilities beating to the rhythms of creation: slow and grounding, ancient and purposeful, unwavering and persistent in adamant defiance of anything that comes to steal life.]
