Trans Day of Remembrance.
Today We Remember. 🕯
On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we offer this prayer-poem from Rev. Vickey Gibbs:
“God,
of all the vast varieties of humankind,
Help us to move beyond
the exclusiveness
of an either / or mentality
to the inclusiveness
of an all and every
way of thinking.
Move us beyond binary definitions
to the mystery and complexity of
Your infinite creativity
and creation.
As we pause to remember those
senselessly
Murdered
because of their
all encompassing humanity
open hearts that need to hear
souls that need to know
and minds that need to see
that there are
no limits
to You
nor Your creation.”
According to Matthew, Jesus said, not a sparrow falls from heaven without God seeing it—and how much more are we than sparrows! God sees us. We are asking that you, also, see us.
We encourage you today to light a candle in solidarity, attend local online events, and if you are a person of faith we urge you to include Trans Day of Remembrance in your public and private prayers this weekend. 🕯
