Remember today the Martyrs of Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston NC who were killed a year ago tonight.

                     Canticle 10, & LJB translation

                                 of Matthew 18:21-22

My thoughts 

are not your 

thoughts,

nor your 

ways my 

ways, says 

the Lord…  

Then Peter 

came and 

said to him” 

Lord… how often do I 

have to forgive these idiots?” 

          Jesus answered…

Almighty and Everlasting God, who kindled the flame of your love in the hearts of your holy martyrs 

of Mother Emmanuel; Grant to us…. a like power of love… 

                            Collect of martyrs

Pray for an end to the 

violence & hatred that

infect the human heart, 

for an end to the divisive-

ness in our political and

social discourse. Pray also 

for a renunciation of the 

use of racism xenophobia 

& division as a political tool.
