5. God of Compassion
You let your rain fall on the just and the
unjust.
Expand and deepen our hearts
so that we may love as You love,
even those among us
who have caused the greatest pain by
taking life.
For there is in our land
a great cry for vengeance
as we fill up death row and kill “An Eye for an Eye, makes the Whole
the killers World Blind”
in the name of justice, in the -Mahatma Ghandi
name of peace.
Amen.
- Sister Helen Prejean
