Thurgood Marshall, Public Servant, 1993
The Collect:
Eternal and ever-gracious God, who blessed your servant
Thurgood Marshall with grace and courage to discern and speak the truth: Grant
that, following his example, we may know you and recognize that we are all your
children, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Note: Sometimes, it is strange to think of people we may know, or know of, as Saints who will be remembered.
