A prayer for the feast Day of Karl Barth

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Almighty God, source of justice beyond human knowledge: We offer thanks that thou didst inspire Karl Barth to resist tyranny and exalt thy saving grace, without which we cannot apprehend thy will. Teach us, like him, to live by faith, and even in chaotic and perilous times to perceive the light of thy eternal glory, Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, throughout all ages. Amen.

Karl Barth died within hours of Thomas Merton (hard to say exactly how far apart, since both of them died unexpectedly without anyone in attendance). December 10, 1968, was another of those days like November 22, 1963 (John F. Kennedy, C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley).
