God of us all,
We pray for the unity of the Black Church, that we may
find a unified way to fight this disease of HIV/AIDS.
Lead the Church out of passivity and old-fashioned attitudes. Replace
ignorance with education. Teach the young self-worth and strength, the
strength of self-discipline. Teach the old, new ways of caring and compassion.
We pray for the commitment of time and money that will
provide crisis intervention, professional guidance, community seminars
and outreach programs to provide alternatives to the harmful enticements
of the streets.
Grant us, together, acknowledge of what is and what is
not, as well as a vision of what can be.
In the name of Jesus the Christ.
AMEN.
