We are living through a profound moral collapse. How long, O Lord, will we continue to oppress the poor and wound the downcast? How long will we exalt our arrogance while turning away from those in need of opportunity? How long will we profess “justice for all,” yet practice inequity—mirroring the very injustices we condemn?
Lord, in your mercy, hear our cry. 🙏🏽
