At the beginning of the episode, Diana shared the following opening prayer:

Lord, make me a ripple of disruption:
where there is apathy, let me provoke charity;
where there is compliance, thoughtfulness;
where there is silence, a voice of accountability;
where there is too much comfort and too little action, discomfort;
where there are closed doors and locked hearts, honest disarming;
where the "other's" humanity is not affirmed, dialogue and goodness.

O Most High Good God, grant that I may seek rather
to do justice than to talk about it;
to be with, as well as for, the alienated;
to love the unlovable as well as the lovely.
When laws dictate and pain is overlooked; 
when "tradition" speaks louder than need; 
when ideas take priority before realities, 
disturb us, O Lord, 
that we might live out our prayer, 
that we might live penance and reconciliation, 
that we might live your revolution of mercy and holiness, 
that we might live out your mission. 
Amen.
