A Christmas Prayer

Phillip Berrigan’s prayer serves as a reminder that the sins of war and the arms trade continue to exist and shatter the lives of God’s people and creation. Like Berrigan, let us refuse to be people of indifference in times of war and violence; instead, let us draw strength from the Lord of Justice and renew our commitment to work for an end to war and violence in our local, national, and global communities.
