Our Father, there are a million citizens in the Ryukyus that Thy beloved Son Jesus Christ died for. Make the new High Commissioner bow deeply before the dignity of the people for whom he has been sent and thus make him obey Thee. Jesus Christ, with all authority in heaven and on earth, exercised His authority only in such a way as to wash people’s feet. Show our High Commissioner the same way of exercising his authority.
Dear God, give us and the High Commissioner strength to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed. Give us courage to change the things that can and should be changed. And give us wisdom to distinguish one from the other . In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen."
