Read the scripture.

Read the statistics on violence.

You may sit in a chair and listen to the music being sung as long as you like.

Pray this prayer before you move to the next station:

Holy One, we are convicted of our addiction to violence. We lament the use of firearms for violence.  We bemoan the staggering statistics of intimate partner violence.  Yet we confess our own complicity in the pain of our neighbors.  Whether we have picked up a gun, uttered harmful words about each other or simply refused to acknowledge another’s pain, we have betrayed the peace you left with us.  We have built war economics that make conflict profitable.  We have created societies that accept violence, racism, discrimination and marginalization.  God of grace, have mercy upon us, and save us from weak resignation to these evils. Amen.
