This Week, We’re Truly Just Scratching the Surface

There is so much to say about the life and work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Please accept this humble offering as a conversation starter, and see where else you go in your own thoughts on his legacy. Also, what did you hear about King this week? He’s been featured in a lot of shows, but where did you feel the most impact?

Here is the prayer that Jonathan read by Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Thou Eternal God, out of whose absolute power and infinite intelligence the whole universe has come into being, we humbly confess that we have not loved thee with our hearts, souls and minds, and we have not loved our neighbors as Christ loved us. We have all too often lived by our own selfish impulses rather than by the life of sacrificial love as revealed by Christ. We often give in order to receive. We love our friends and hate our enemies. We go the first mile but dare not travel the second. We forgive but dare not forget. And so as we look within ourselves, we are confronted with the appalling fact that the history of our lives is the history of an eternal revolt against you. But thou, O God, have mercy upon us. Forgive us for what we could have been but failed to be. Give us the intelligence to know your will. Give us the courage to do your will. Give us the devotion to love your will. In the name and spirit of Jesus, we pray. Amen.”
