A Prayer for Would-Be Good Samaritans


May God grant us enough love that we can no longer contain it;
Enough joy that we can no longer keep it to ourselves;
Enough hope that despair has to shout to get our attention;
Enough courage that we forget to be afraid;
Enough faith that we take to the Jericho roads;
Enough peace to befuddle the forces of alienation;
Enough confidence to trust God to meet us in our neighbors
And the audacity to act accordingly.
