Almighty God, who by the hand of Moses thy servant didst lead thy people
out of slavery, and didst make them free at last: Grant that thy Church,
following the example of thy prophet Martin Luther King, may resist oppression
in the name of thy love, and may strive to secure for all thy children
the blessed liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth
with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
