A passion for justice Give us, oh Lord we pray, firm faith, unwavering hope, a passion for justice. Pour into our hearts the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and spiritual strengths, the spirit of knowledge and true compassion and the spirit of wonder in all of your works. Light eternal, shine in our hearts. Power eternal, deliver us from evil. Wisdom eternal, scatter the darkness of our ignorance. Might eternal, have mercy on us. Grant that we may ever seek your face with all our heart and soul and strength. And in your infinite mercy, bring us at last to the fullness of your presence where we shall behold your glory and live your promised joys. In the name of Jesus, our body and blood, our life and our nourishment, Amen. Celtic Cross from Isle of Skye by Alcuin, an 8th century Celtic Christian
