A Prayer on Election Day
Help us laugh at ourselves, for without humor our politics cannot be humane.
+2
I’m Sovereign Lord:
Foolish we are, believing that we can rule ourselves by selecting this or that person to rule t to think it more significant than it is, but also give us and those we elect enough wisdom to acknowledge our follies.
Help us laugh at ourselves, for without  humor our politics cannot be humane.
We desire to dominate and thus are dominated. Free us, dear Lord, for otherwise we perish.
Amen.
