MatinsRita Hayworth back in the day, playing the part of Salome, got everybody's attention.
Collect
Just and merciful God,
you called John the Baptist to witness to your commands,
even at the cost of his life;
give us courage to contend for justice
and to speak for the oppressed to the end;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
Amen.
Prayer
Let us be at peace within ourselves.
Silence
Let us accept that we are profoundly loved
and need never be afraid.
Silence
Let us be aware of the source of being
that is common to us all
and to all living creatures.
Silence
Let us be filled with the presence of the great compassion
towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Silence
Realising that we are all nourished from the same source of life,
May we so live that others be not deprived
of air, food, water, shelter, or the chance to live.
Silence
Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be
a cause of suffering to one another.
Silence
With humility let us pray for the establishment
of peace in our hearts and on earth.
Amen.
