This week, our prayer gives thanks for LGBTQ+ children “deeply beloved and beautiful” and celebrates ancestors whose courage opened ways for authentic lives. It acknowledges current threats to hard-won rights and prays especially for transgender youth facing attacks on gender-affirming care. The prayer honors Ascension’s LGBTQ+ members and commits us to sharing cups of water with lemon and love with all who march and serve.
