On the Feast of Martin Luther King, Jr.

ogtumble:

℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Let us pray.

Almighty God, by the hand of thy servant Moses didst thou lead thy people out of slavery, and make them free at last: Grant that thy Church following the example of thy prophet Martin Luther King, Jr., may resist oppression in the name of thy love, and may secure for all thy children the blessed liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever.

℟. Amen.
