On this day of joy and remembrance, my prayers are for more enlightenment in this world: for more justice and less repression; for more hope and less fear and for compassion and care for those less fortunate. And no more walls; please, let's tear down all the walls; break apart the barriers; eclipse arbitrary borders. What unites us is more powerful than what divides us.
I also pray for grace and strength as we continue to face challenges and change, as well as for some small measure of peace in our hearts.
LOVE your prayers! I was just browing through your blog when I found this prayer and YES, let us break the walls that we have created and have kept many of us isolated form what the world needs.
