(this is the prayer I wrote for the end of The Gospel According To... Christy Moore, read by myself and Fr. Martin Magill, as featured on this morning's Sunday Sequence on BBC Radio Ulster.)
Lord, teach us to listen
To Listen to you
To listen to each other
To listen for the way forward for our country
Help us Lord, to get over our fears
To grow in understanding
And to learn to love one another without reason to surrender
Lord give us courage to stand for justice in Lenadoon
In Belfast, in Ireland and to the ends of the earth
God we pray that your kingdom would come and your will would be done
Here in Belfast as it is in heaven
God may we ride on into a shared future
May we ride on into a better day for our children
It is the least we can do
May we ride on after you... Father, Son and Holy Spirit
AMEN
