INTERCESSION
God who takes the side of those who bear injustice, pain and insult,
we pray for healing.
Through the telling of our stories, and through speaking the truth in love,
may we find healing and create whole and wholesome communities.
Healing Spirit, we pray for the imagination to think how we would feel
if what has been done to others had been done to us.
We pray for openness to listen to others with respect.
Grant humility and forgiveness in the hearts of all.
Heal the blindness that looks but does not see,
the deafness which refuses to listen and so does not hear,
the dullness which hears but does not comprehend;
and the lack of integrity that knows but does not act.
Gracious God, heal our wounds and set all free.
We pray in the name of the Christ. Amen
