At the Hand of Violence: A Yizkor Prayer
Source and Creator,
Grant a perfect rest under your tabernacle of peace
For George Floyd’s Family
After a moment of joy and relief at the guilty verdicts in the murder of George Floyd, my overwhelming emotion is sorrow in my heart for a daughter without her father and a brother without his brother. This is a prayer for justice and healing. My anger and indignation were already expressed in “Strangled by Police: Psalm of Protest 17” which is added here to create a two-prayer liturgy. Both pieces refer to Amos 5:24, envisioning a time when justice will flow as water.
For Terror Survivors
God of the survivor,
God of the mourner and the witness,
Grant solace and peace to those still held by physical, emotional, and spiritual distress from acts of terror.
