Litney of Commemoration
Leader: We remember his conviction that, “freedom is never
voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by
the oppressed.”
People: Therefore, we pray for courage and determination in those
who are oppressed.
Leader: We remember his warning that, “a negative peace which is
the absence of tension is less than a positive peace which is
the presence of justice”.
People: Therefore, we pray that those who work for peace in our
world may cry out first for justice.
Leader: We remember his insight that, “injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an
inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of
destiny. What ever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”
People: Therefore, we pray that we may see nothing in isolation, but
may know ourselves bound to one another.
Leader: We remember his lament that, “the contemporary church is
often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It
is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from
being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power
structure of the average community is consoled by the
church’s silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.”
People: Therefore, we pray that Christ’s people will not be silent in the
face of wrong, but that we may be disturbers of the status quo
when that is God’s call to us.
Leader: We remember his hope that, “dark clouds of racial prejudice
will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will
be lifted from our fear-drenched communities and in some
not-too-distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and
brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their
scintillating beauty.”
Together: Therefore, in faith, let us commend ourselves and our work
for justice to the goodness of almighty God. Amen.
