A Prayer on This Historic Day

June 26, 2015
Rev. Anthony T. Livolsi

On the occasion of the United States Supreme Court's ruling, legalizing same-gender marriage nationwide. June 26, 2015.

God, we know that there are rainbow flags unfurled and hung out in heaven today.

We know that there is a great flash mob of saints dancing for joy in the streets on the other side.

We know that you called a stop to the angel choirs’ Holy-Holy-Holy-ing and said, ‘Can’t you do a little Diana Ross?’

God, we know that today, love has won on earth, and that at long last, your will has been done here, as in heaven.

And so we promise that we will party it up, that we will warm your heart with bad karaoke and L Word binge-watching. We will spread the love – in thanks to and the name of You who are Love.

Amen.
