PRAYER FOR DR. MARTIN KING JR. day

 
Prayer by Nelson Mandela:
 
The time for healing of the wounds has come.
The time to build is upon us . . .
We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people
from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation,
suffering, gender and other discrimination . . .
There is no easy road to freedom . . .
None of us acting along can achieve success.
We must therefore act together as a united people,
for reconciliation,  for nation building,
for the birth of a new world.
 
(from PRAYERS for a THOUSAND YEARS  by Roberts & Amidon,  p. 232)
