St. Patrick’s Day
I speak for no others,
only for myself.
For me, this day has
nothing to do with
green beer or
green clothing,
this day has nothing to do with
pinching me or kissing me;
my bad jokes aside,
this day has nothing to do even with Jameson.
Today is a day
to remember oppression
to honor resistance
to recognize that, despite the efforts of
systems of race and racialization
to separate us,
struggles for dignity and justice,
freedom and equality,
human rights and humanity
are inseparably linked:
none of us are free until all of us are free.
for that reason, in that spirit, and in my own fashion,
I mark this day, and each 17th of March.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

A prayer about steps
We rejoice with all your beloved children
who took their first steps today;
may their families and friends
love, nurture, and protect them;
may we create a society
in which they are cared for well.
We remember all your beloved children
who took their final steps today;
may they already be received into your nearer presence
where pain is no more and all tears are wiped away;
may those who mourn receive comfort and support
as they walk this shadowed valley.
We pray in the name of your Beloved Child Jesus,
the itinerant preacher who proclaimed and lived your love.
Amen.
