I don’t have much energy to comment. Let the links speak for themselves …
BERSIH Rally: Bar Council makes a point
Counting Down To The Peoples’ Petition To The King
There’s so much to read, understand and process … I know some of my friends are putting legs to their prayers (or ideals) on November the 10th! May I invite anyone who feels called or at least are concerned to join in and offer this special prayer as an act of solidarity and intercession?
“Hidden, eternal, unfathomable, all-merciful God,
beside you there is no other god.
You are great and worthy of all praise;
your power and grace sustain the universe.
God of faithfulness without falsity, just and truthful,
you chose Abraham, your devout servant,
to be the father of many nations,
and you have spoken through the prophets.
Hallowed and praised be your name throughout the world.
May your will be done wherever people live.
Living and gracious God, hear our prayer;
our guilt has become great.
Forgive us children of Abraham our wars,
our enmities, our misdeeds toward one another.
Rescue us from all distress and give us peace.
Guardian of our destiny,
bless the leaders and rulers of the nations,
that they may not covet power and glory
but act responsibly
for the welfare and peace of humankind.
Guide our religious communities and those set over them,
that they may not only proclaim the message of peace
but also show it in their lives.
And to all of us, and to those who do not worship among us,
give your grace, mercy, and all good things,
and lead us, God of the living,
on the right way to your eternal glory.
Amen.
–Hans Kung”
