Prayer for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday , by: J. Glenn Murray, SJ

O Guardian of Israel,
Our shelter and shade,
Stir up in us that flame of justice
That Jesus incited on this earth,
That rages in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
O arouse in us
That very flame of righteousness
That enticed Martin
To be a living sacrifice of praise,
To seek freedom for all God's children.
O to you, God every faithful and true,
Be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
