A prayer for this day (Lent 1, Thursday)

What a strange world this is, O God.

A world where migrants get a brief Disney cruise before being detained. What deck class were they afforded, I wonder?

A world where air strikes in Syria hit the sick, the dying and the helpers.

Will you forgive us for what we do to each other?

Will you forgive our aggressions - both petty and profound?

Will the time come when there are no strangers or enemies or classes or targets?

God, I hope so.
