Forgive Us Lord




Forgive us Lord for contracepting as a nation.
Forgive us for saying no to your life and love.
Forgive us for saying that what we want has more value than sacrifice for others.
Forgive us, for the more we contracept, the more we say no,
The more we shut others out
The more selfish we become
The more we see people as a commodity
The more we devalue life
The more we turn in toward ourselves
The more isolated we become
The more angry we become
The more we strike out at those around us
The more violent we become
In a cry that begs to ask the question
Do I matter?
Forgive us Lord, for in contracepting, we have not only said no to Your life giving love and children
We have contracepted You right out of our lives
our souls
our nation.
