Commemoration: Archbishop Oscar Romero (1917-1980)       

O Jesus Christ,

            for the world's sake

                        you did stand against the world;

            you did empty yourself,

                        that you might fill all things;

            you were a curse,

                        to bless all creation.

O Christ, forgive our ignorance, blindness, stupidity;

            our vainglory and cruelty,

            all sin we do in darkness,

            all our additions to the sufferings of others.

O Christ, let me stand alongside you

            for cleanness of hand and pureness of heart;

stand after your example,

            against the small, the shallow, the spiteful and cruel;

stand for the world,

            against the world;

stand for you and your righteousness and love;

            who live and reigns with the Father and

            the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.   Amen

(Dean Eric Milner-White)
