Litany of Confession
(inspired by Habakkuk
2: 1-4)
For
ignoring the vision
breathed
by the living Spirit
churning
deep within our souls;
Lord
have mercy,
Lord
have mercy,
Have
mercy upon us.
For
refusing to look at the vision
alive
within those
who
look or act or sound different from us;
Christ
have mercy,
Christ
have mercy,
Have
mercy upon us.
For
choosing familiarity, ease, and comfort
rather
than risking the opportunities
afforded
in the vision
Lord
have mercy,
Lord
have mercy,
Have
mercy upon us.
