Pauli Murray
“Whatever future
ministry
that I might have as
a priest,
it was given to me
that day
to be a symbol of
healing.
All the strands of my
life
Had come together.
Descendant of slave
and of slave owner,
I had already been
called
Poet Lawyer Teacher Friend
Poet Lawyer Teacher Friend
Now I was empowered
To minister the
sacrament of One
In whom
There is no north or
south,
No black or white,
No male or female.
Only the spirit of
love and
Reconciliation
drawing us all
Toward the goal of
human wholeness.”
