PP12. Litany of Fearlessness

Walking into a club,
feigning assurance,
faking confidence...
Do Not Be Afraid.

Hearing the name calling,
cat-calling,
hate-calling...
Do Not Be Afraid.

Receiving the blows 
to body and brain, 
to self-esteem and identity...
Do Not Be Afraid.

We are told love conquers hate,
Mercy conquers judgmentalism,
Hope banishes fear...
Do Not Be Afraid.

‘Fear Not’ said the Angel
For dread had consumed their minds
Blocking hope or grace.
Do Not Be Afraid.

Banish our fears, O God.
Replace them with signs and wonders, 
revealing your great love
For ALL.
Amen
