Have A Blessed Easter And Passover

Passover Prayer

 
Long ago, at this season, on such a night as this, a people – our people – set out on a journey.All but crushed by their enslavement, they yet recalled the far-off memory of a happier past.  

And heard the voice of their ancestral God, bidding them summon up the courage to be free.

Boldly, they went forth from Egypt, crossed the Sea, and headed through the desert for the Promised Land.

What they experienced, they remembered, and told their children, and they to theirs.

From generation to generation, the story was retold, and we are here to tell it yet again.

We too give thanks for Israel’s liberation; we too remember what it means to be a slave.

And so we pray for all who are still fettered, still denied their human rights. Let all God’s children sit at his table, drink the wine of deliverance, and eat the bread of freedom:

freedom from bondage
and freedom from oppression,freedom from hunger
and freedom from want,

freedom from hatred
and freedom from fear,

freedom to think
and freedom to speak,

freedom to learn
and freedom to love,

freedom to hope
and freedom to rejoice;

soon in our days,

Amen.

I wish all of you a happy and safe holiday.

    Happy Easter to everyone for whom this time has meaning. And to the secularists, atheists, and twisted, hate-filled ACLU vermin, waiting even now to attack another crucifix (although they have no problem with Islam being promoted in public schools), I frankly pity you.

    1. That’s the Easter spirit, Robert! Kill ‘em all.:twisted:

    Who said anything about killing (except for you)? I suppose in your terrorist-loving, “insurgent” cheerleading, twisted mind, killing and destroying is always just barely under the surface.

    You have articulated the depth of your mental illness quite well on another thread. You are a danger to civilization.

    3. I wasn’t the one who called for the elimination of Syria and Iran and I wasn’t the one who sent his Easter greetings as: “And to the secularists, atheists, and twisted, hate-filled ACLU vermin, waiting even now to attack another crucifix (although they have no problem with Islam being promoted in public schools), I frankly pity you.”
    A Happy Easter could have done much better.

    On the day of Jesus’s resurrection, life according to Peejz: “If I woke up tomorrow to hear that Syria and Iran had been obliterated from the map, I wouldn’t blink:”

    I see your true colors, shining through.

    Well TT if they wanted peace, if they were willing to respect others differences and showed a willingness to get along in a global world instead of murdering children and women and wishing Israel off the map then maybe they wouldn’t be so hated.

    Tofu aren’t you another of the atheists that post here? If so, why are you invoking Jesus memory? He doesn’t mean anything to you; none of that does.
