Dear God
Your will is that we may be one.
We thank you that you call us into communion with you and each other.
Your generosity and mercy are always taking us by surprise.
We bless you for the vision of inclusion, solidarity and compassion
which opens our minds, widens our sympathies, and enlarges our hearts.
We commend to your gracious care all those whom
it would be easy for us to forget – the homeless and the hungry,
the addicted and the lost, abandoned people and hurting children.
We thank you for the imagination and generosity of those who minister
out of love and compassion to those who are most in need.
Strengthen us and give us togetherness to serve
the needy, the rejected, and the forgotten.
Confront our indifference, break down our barriers, surprise us with joy.
Dear Christ, be with us in this suffering yet glorious world.
Amen.
