A prayer of confession while children hunger and starve
How cruel have we become, God,
that we could even consider
burning food while
children hunger and starve?
Kyrie eleison.
Forgive us.
How stunted is our creativity, God
that we cannot conceive
of ways to use food while
children hunger and starve?
Kyrie eleison.
Forgive us.
What has happened to our values, God,
when we dismantle programs
that distribute food to
children who hunger and starve?
Kyrie eleison.
Forgive us.
We confess our shortsightedness and cruelty;
we confess our stunted imagination and warped values.
Kyrie eleison.
Forgive us.
Pour your Holy Spirit afresh
upon those who make decisions
that they might repent and choose life
and seek ways to share the abundance you create.
Pour your Holy Spirit afresh
upon us all that we might repent
and continue to advocate and work
for a world in which everyone has enough.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Perhaps the food in question has expired and can no longer be used. If so, that is another human failure and represents additional actions of which we need to repent.
