A Prayer from In His Name:
O' Loving Father, we come today as
millions of this nation's workers are idle in
the market places with no means of
earning, their daily bread. Father, in
this nation, hard-working men and women
are becoming an unwanted resource. O'
Master, touch the house holders' hearts,
teach them that You have ordained that
mankind shall work for their daily bread.
Father, touch them that they are also
commanded to love thy neighbor as
thyself. Instill in their minds, Dear
Lord, that the stones which the builders
reject, the workers who are replaced,
discharged or forced in retirement "may
become the head cornerstone." O'
Mastery, help them to know that what
they do unto the least of Your children they
do unto You, Father, we need Your help for
we know that You are the God of All
Comfort, the Supreme Controller.
Therefore, we say unto the house holders
of America; the rulers of America.
These words of St. Matthew the
kingdom of God shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation bringing forth the
fruits thereof.
O' for the kingdom of heaven is like unto
a man that is a house holder which went
out early in the morning to hire, not to
discharge, not to replace laborers into his
vineyard.
In the Name of Jesus, the Christ, Amen.
