上帝,萬邦之主,
求袮垂聽我們懇切之認罪。
願你的真正旨意在世人面前顯明,
願一切異端邪說被你的力量粉碎。
因你慈愛的教導,
我們不應製造仇恨。
因你公義的教導,
我們不應褻瀆神聖。
我們都是亞伯拉罕的女兒和兒子,
儘管我們對你的認識並非一致。
製造新的仇恨背離你的教導,
因仇恨與殺人的罪同等。
願你的祝福臨到九一一的受害者。
願你的祝福臨到受迫害的穆斯林。
願你的力量臨到真正的新教徒身上,而非法利賽人身上。
願袮破壞魔鬼的計謀。
願你打開穆斯林的雙眼,
使他們分辨正統和異端。
願你打開新教徒的雙眼,
使他們認清理性和神學。
願你的榮耀被萬國和各宗教稱頌。
願你的聖名被萬國和各宗教高舉。
奉主基督之聖名祈求,阿們。
911 Prayer:
Confession for the sin of fundamentalist and religious right
O Lord, God of all nations,
Please hear our sincere confession.
May your real mind be revealed before all human,
and the heterodoxies be scattered by your power.
For your teaching of kindness,
We should never create new hate.
For your teaching of righteousness,
We should never offend holiness.
We are all the daughters and sons of Abraham,
Although our interception of God is not the same.
Creating new hate runs against your teaching,
as hating is equally sinful as killing.
May your blessing be with the victims of 911.
May your blessing be with the suppressed Muslims.
May your power be with the real Protestant but not with the Pharisee.
May you destroy the evil plan.
May you open the eyes of Muslims,
Let them distinguish the orthodoxy from heterodoxy.
May you open the eyes of Protestant,
Let them identify real rationality and divinity.
May your glory be praised by all nations and all religions.
May your name be exalted by all nations and all religions.
In the name of Christ we pray, Amen.
