We read responsively:

Long ago at this season, our people set out on a journey.
On such a night as this, Israel went from degradation to joy.
We give thanks for the liberation of days gone by.
And we pray for all who are still bound.
Source of life, may all who hunger come to rejoice in a new Passover.
Let all the human family sit at Your table, drink the wine of deliverance, eat the bread of
freedom:
Freedom from bondage         and freedom from oppression
Freedom from hunger         and freedom from want
Freedom from hatred         and freedom from fear
Freedom to think         and freedom to speak
Freedom to teach         and freedom to learn
Freedom to love         and freedom to share
Freedom to hope         and freedom to rejoice
Soon, in our days        Amen.
