A Prayer for the Children Affected by the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Kenya
Dear God of healing and hope,
The severe children's epidemic in Kenya that we ask you to help. Many times we know how you’d like us to react but our own discomforts and uneasiness cloud your vision for us. We know you to be a welcoming God perfectly exemplified in the person of Jesus, the one we call Christ One who extends grace to all people. May Mother Mary guide us in our plan to help all children in need.
O God, too often this is the case when we talk about HIV and AIDS. We’d rather not think about how it was contracted, but at the same time that is all we can think about. Too often we get caught up in a spirit of retributive justice, rather than responding out of the grace that was first extended to us.
Help us, Gracious One, to truly follow the ways of the One who healed without question, even on the Sabbath, instead of perpetuating a culture of “unclean” lepers. And challenge us to accept that our passing judgment against segments of our society contribute to new HIV infections rather than reducing them. Open our eyes—give us 20/20 vision—so that we may see that racism, homophobia, bi-phobia, and trans-phobia, in addition to a general reluctance to think about children becoming prey to the epidemic of HIV-AIDS in the continuing rise of HIV-infection rates as the evil they are and be delivered from them.
May your Holy Spirit comfort those children who are hurting and dying. Hold them in your loving embrace and in your healing and mercy, Amen.
In Christ our Lord,
Chris Manion

Poems
To My Caregiver
Dear stranger, I lounge here, awaiting your arrival,
pondering the complexities of my survival:
I too once climbed stairs and saw all too well
men tottering on the threshold of hell,
joys discarded, bodies wasted, life spent.
To these I have been an angel sent
in the most ordinary guise and fashion,
bearing a lifetime's supply of compassion.
Imagine me an angel! Imagine me divine
when every human failing and flaw have been mine.
I have been weak and wanting, full of need.
I have lived with wounds too deep to bleed.
But I have been foolish, selfish in my despair.
You put me to shame. Please, pull up a chair.
by Dennis Rhodes
