Gun Violence Prayers

Gracious Lord

who
loves us
so perfectly,

help us
to better love
you

and
each other.

We
weep
for the gun
violence

that kills
children

and
so many
others,

where
guns replaced
prayers

and

homes
without you
bred frustration.

May
hearts be
changed

through
your Holy Spirit

that

justice, mercy, money

and, yes,
even guns

might be used
rightly under
Heaven,

through
Jesus Christ,

your Son,

our Lord.

Amen.

If You Return to Me

8

“Remember
the instruction

you
gave your
servant

Moses,
saying,

‘If
you are
unfaithful,

I will
scatter you

among
the nations,

9

but

if
you return
to me

and

obey
my
commands,

then

even if
your exiled
people
are

at
the farthest
horizon,

I
will
gather them
from  there

and

bring them
to the place

I
have
chosen

as
a dwelling
for my Name.’

Nehemiah 1:8-9

8

옛적에 주께서

주의 종
모세에게

명령하여
이르시되

만일
너희가
범죄하면

내가
너희를

여러 나라
가운데에 흩을
것이요

9

만일
내게로 돌아와

내 계명을 지켜
행하면

너희
쫓긴 자가

하늘 끝에
있을지라도

내가
거기서부터
그들을 모아

내 이름을 두려고
택한 곳에

돌아오게
하리라 하신
말씀을

이제
청하건대
기억하옵소서

느헤미아 1:8-9

이곳에서의 삶

죽은 듯이 살았다

빛나는 것은
없었다

하염없이 살았다

땅에
침을 뱉었다
한번 더 뱉었다

머언 데로 한없이
가까운 데로
달려갔다

오오 죽음이
다 된 삶

나를
떠나게 하던 삶
내가 떠나던
삶

나를 위해
기도하던 삶
내가 기도한 삶

그토록
커다랗던 삶

그토록
커다랗게 나를
가둔 삶

내가
크게 크게
가두었던 삶

시방
여름 대지에서
만나면 외면해야
할

흐린 날들의삶
비린내 투성이 삶

한번도
지켜지지 않았던
삶

저 삶이

하루종일
연기만 나는
삶이

허나

영원히
사랑했던
삶이

나를
영원히 사랑했고
내가 영원히
사랑할
삶이

시방
이렇게 불탄다

삶은
삶 속에
나를 가두고

나는
내 속에
삶을 가둔다

A Prayer for Peace After Gun Violence

“Thus says Yahweh:

a voice is heard
in Ramah,

mourning
and bitter weeping.
Rachel,

weeping
for her children,

refuses
to be comforted,

for
her children are
no more.”

Jeremiah 31:15

God,

comforter of
the broken

and
disheartened,

We
come to you

plagued with
an agonized grief
after yet

one more
outbreak of senseless
gun violence.

We come to you,

from
the East to the West,
from the North to
the South,

people
of all ages,
ethnicities,

and
walks of life.

We represent one voice,

the voice of
bitter weeping
echoing

throughout
our cities

and
resounding
in communities

throughout
the world.

As violence abounds,

we sit
in the darkness,

sitting
alongside
the suffering

on
the mourner’s
bench.

We are Rachel,

mourning with
wordless
sobs,

the lives
of those sacrificed
on the altar of
violence.

We are Rachel,

weeping
for the wounded,

for those
whose minds and
bodies
are

etched
with painful
memories
of
men’s
unjustifiable
rage.

We are Rachel,

lamenting
with the families
who have
lost

loved ones

whose
cries of despair

join
with  those
from tragedies

of
gun
violence.

We are Rachel,

perplexed
with troubled souls,
and searching for
answers,

seeking
to understand

what
would cause
humans to inflict
pain

on
their fellow
sisters and
brothers.

We are Rachel,

exasperated,
grasping—
crying out,

“How long,

O God?”

How long
will this wave of
violence

consume
your people?

You are Ready to Forgive

For You, Lord,
are good,

and
*ready
to forgive,

And

abundant in
lovingkindness

to

all

who call

upon You.

Psalm 86:5

5

주는 선하사

*용서할 준비가
되어 있으시며

(사죄하기를
즐거워하시며)

주께 부르짖는

자에게

인자함이

후하심이니이다

견디다

울대가 없어
울지 못하는
황새와

눈이 늘 젖어 있어
따로 울지 않는
낙타와

일생에
단 한 번  울다 죽는
가시나무새와

백년에
단 한 번 피우는
용설란과

한 꽃대에
삼천 송이 꽃을
피우다

하루 만에 죽는
호텔펠리니아
꽃과

물 속에서
천 일을 견디다

스물다섯 번
허물 벗고 성충이 된 뒤
하루 만에 죽는
하루살이와

울지 않는
흰띠거품벌레에게
나는 말하네

견디는
자만이 살 수
있다

그러나
누가 그토록
견디는가 

-천양희-

Gun Violence Prayers 2

Merciful Lord,

we come to you heavy hearted,

for we have heard the cries of
the slain calling to us from the ground.

We come remembering
all the lives lost to the weapons of war
that have flooded our communities.

We come reminded
of the many bodies locked in jails and
prisons all across this country.

And we ask for your mercy.

Although we find ourselves
in a broken world –a world in which

hurting people hurt other people,

it is no mystery that

you are a God capable
of healing our world

through justice and fairness.

Your own revelation has shown us that

you stand firmly with those people

whose backs are against the wall.

Your own life demonstrates

how you came from heaven to earth

to redeem creation,

our communities and our own lives.
So we ask for this same redemptive power
to be unleashed among us as it was
on the day of Pentecost.

May we be empowered by your Spirit

to reverse the conditions that

produce young men and women
who are driven to resort to violence

and destructive behavior in their fight
to stay alive and struggle to remain free.

We know that

you have no pleasure

in the death of anyone,

so we boldly come

to the throne of grace

today dear Lord,

seeking your wisdom
as we create strategies that provide
pathways and lifelines to hope and healing.

Help us to remember

we are all your children,

created in your image,
and we are connected by a single garment
of mutuality and destiny.

Cause us to never forget how our needs are
the same and our calling to address
these needs are the same.

Reveal to us Lord,

that the pain felt in Newtown is
the same pain felt in Chicago.

The tears shed in Oak Creek are
the same tears shed in Oakland.

The lives lost in Tucson are
the same lives lost in Camden.

The children being buried in Aurora are
the same children being buried in Detroit.

We cry out to you,

heal our souls from
this scourge of violence.

Endow us

with the courage

to step down from the pulpits

and out from behind our desks

to seek the peace of the city.

In the coming days and weeks
as our leaders debate solutions,

Lord we ask that

you grant us the voice

to speak truth power

and demonstrate
sacrificial compassion to
the hurting.

Teach us your ways, O God.

Bless us with the wisdom

and strength to put down

our swords and be peacemakers.

Use us,

work through us

and,
if necessary,

work in spite of us to mend

our nation’s brokenness.

We thank you for

your protecting embrace

and unfailing love.

All of these requests we bring to you,

in the name of Jesus the Christ we pray.

Amen.
