Appropriate Prayer
Sometimes the best way to pray is in silence.
Sometimes in a simple, formal liturgy.
Given the juxtaposition of yesterday, and the importance of the G8 meeting today, I found this prayer, the psalm prayer for Psalm 59 (today's psalm) in Celebrating Common Prayer providentially appropriate.

¶ 9:48 am
Stand, O strong and merciful God,
against all oppression
and with all who are oppressed;
against the triumph of evil
and against the complacency of your people;
establish in Christ Jesus
your new order of generosity and joy.Amen
