Another month gone by, O Lord,
Another small landmark in the passing of time.
We are created and allowed only a short time on the earth,
Yet there is so much good we can do during that time.
Fill us not only with good intentions,
But allow our intentions to be fulfilled
So that this world will be better when we leave it.
Cause our works to lead to others’ survival
And abundant life.
And, Lord, never let us think for a moment that we do not have the power to overcome injustice,
Free people from bondage,
Feed the hungry,
Clothe the naked,
And love in such a radical way
That we can make changes in the very structure of society.
Amen.
