Olympics
O God,
The 2016 Summer Olympics are underway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Help everyone involved be safe. Protect them from sickness, from
injury, and from terrorism.
It’s an interesting concept, Lord: the nations of the world come
together to celebrate our common humanity by competing against each other.
Use the Olympics to help us think about which is more important and
vital: our common humanity or our national identities.
Perhaps we can have it both ways, so long as we tilt in the direction
that most benefits the most people.
After all, “U.S.A.” and “Planet Earth” have the same cadence. Maybe it
comes down to which one we mean the most and chant the loudest.
The world comes together for the Olympics.
Help us come together for other, much more important things.
Amen.
