Reverend Seth Wispelwey, Co-Moderator of Sojourners United Church of Christ, offered this "sending prayer" at First United Methodist Church, right before the march onto Justice Park and the Sprint Pavilion.
May God bless us all with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless us all with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless us all with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, war, and racism so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless us all with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
Amen.
