Thank you for posting this!!
Lord, let our cry come unto thee,
Do not hide thy face from me
in the day of my distress!
Incline thy ear to me;
answer me speedily in the day when I call!
Hear our prayer for our sister Terri
and all those also in her position,
their families, loved ones
the caring ones,
bereaved and grieving.
Today as we watch, wait, fight and pray,
Let us remember,
and as we remember, let our cry come unto thee,
O Lord,
our life and our light.
Let us remember
how outraged we were
when we heard how the Nazis
euthanized
their brain-damaged,
their mentally different.
And then let us remember
Terri's smile
when she saw her mother,
a smile they said
had nothing to do
with what she was seeing,
and consider
what the difference really is.
O Lord, hear our prayer,
and let our cry come unto thee.
Let us remember
the outcry some have
about the death by lethal injection,
of the quick and painless way
we treat those we choose to execute.
Then let us consider
the death that Terri will suffer,
with nothing to drink
with the thirst burning her body,
with the drugs to control
the pain reactions
the nausea,
all the other suffering
that comes from death by starvation
and dehydration,
and ask God to forgive us
when we call this a mercy killing.
O Lord, hear our prayer,
and let our cry come unto thee.
Strengthen our determination, O Lord,
to be the light on the hill,
to be the salt of the earth,
to reflect your truth across this sad world,
this day, and always,
Amen.
