    God of justice, God of mercy,
    Make us merciful and just!
    Help us see all your creation
    As from you a sacred trust.

    For their own or others’ pain,
    Show us ways to make a difference
    O dear God, make us humane!
    —Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)

    The archbishop is away. The church is gray.
    He has left his robes folded in camphor
    And, dressed in black, he walks
    Among fireflies.

    Therefore Lord God, you are more truly omnipotent, because you have no power through impotence and nothing can be against you.
