Don't know if you saw this, but the debonaire Mr. Clooney has taken to praying, and judging by the substance of this prayer, has likely been praying for longer than he's been on screen.
His prayer 'For our country' is a keeper, with application both in the U.S. and elsewhere, affected by something better than an America First theology, insisting that to kneel is the best posture and protest of all, exceeding the demands of flag and country regardless of where you live...
I pray for my country.
I pray that we can find more that unites us than divides us.
I pray that our nation's leaders want to do the same.
I pray that young children like Tamir Rice (the 12 year old boy who was mistakenly shot and killed by police in November 2014) can feel safe in their own neighbourhood.
I pray for all of our children.
I pray for our police and our first responders.
I pray for our men and women of the armed forces.
I pray that dissent will always be protected in this great country.
I pray for a more perfect union.
And when I pray, I kneel.
