In her thanksgiving prayer, Ms Chittister should remove the pronoun " we " and replace it with " I ".  She's out of line presupposing her prayer represents anyone besides her.

The message she is conveying in thanking and praising her " Creator God " is that the America of  her memory, and as an apparent result of her God's intent,  was a nation and society to be proud of.

However, since the election, she foresees a nation and society on the road to ruin.

She is apparently not interested in chastising her God for the road this nation is headed down, nor is she imploring her God to not let this happen. 

The way I read her article is : " I had my time in the sun - thank you God ".

I have daughters and grandchildren Ms Chittister - why aren't you imploring your God to allow them and subsequent generations the same nation you enjoyed ?

Is it selfishness, or is it that you realizes " there aint no there - there " ?
