I say my prayers in the name of the Father --
in whose Name so many were slaughtered,
their blood flowing back through history,
to prehistory . . . and beyond.
I say my prayers in the name of the Son --
He who is Christ our Lord,
Who was born a man,
Lived and died --
all in the name of the Father.
I pray in the name of the Spirit --
Whose blessings are beyond my meager understanding . . .
and yet are not enough to stop the slaughter --
done in the name of the Father.
