Be our primary disease,
and infect us with your justice;
Be our night visitor,
and haunt us with your peace;
Be our moth that consumes,
and eat away at our unfreedom.
Be our primary disease,
our night visitor,
our moth
infect, haunt, eat away...
Until we are toward you and with you and for you,
away from our injustice,
our anti-peace
our unfreedom.
More like you and less like your resistance.
In the name of the one most like you,
most with you,
most for you ... even Jesus.
Amen.
This prayer is by Profesor, theologian, and pastor, Walter Brueggemann.
It was prayed in one of his courses, January 20, 1998 at Columbia Theological Seminary.
