God of the cross and the margins,
when laws crush the poor
and policies silence the vulnerable,
awaken your church
—
to shout with the oppressed,
to weep with the wounded,
to rise with the crucified
—
whose body bears every injustice
—
and to hope with the risen Christ,
whose justice defies empire,
and whose mercy will not be legislated.
Amen. Presbyterian Church (USA) Washington Office
