Spoken Aloud, Held in Common

This week, our prayers named sorrow, fear, and care in the aftermath of harm. We spoke the names of people we love, and we asked for safety in spaces that should never require it.

We prayed for Matt, a friend of Myrle’s. After collapsing suddenly, he remains hospitalized. Myrle has postponed her trip to be near him. We hold them both in tenderness.

We prayed for two of Myrle’s friends, who suffered serious burns in the hate crime on Pearl Street. Both remain in the hospital, facing surgeries and long recovery ahead. Our concern for them runs deep.

We prayed for everyone attending the Boulder Jewish Festival, and for those gathering in Jewish spaces throughout the city in the wake of the attack. Katherine named a hope for safety—and for the right to gather in peace.

These are the lives we lifted up in community. May our shared witness carry what words alone cannot hold.
