A Prayer for Living in Harmony & in Peace

Good and gracious God,

who loves and delights in all people,

we stand in awe before you,

knowing that the spark of life within each person

is the spark of your divine life.

Differences among cultures and races are

multicoloured manifestations of your light.

May our hearts and minds be open to celebrate

similarities and differences among our sisters and brothers.

Please send your healing and reconciling Spirit in order to bind

the wounds created by racism and racial hatred,

and to promote understanding, justice and love.

We place our hopes for harmony in our committed action

and in your living presence in our neighbour.

May all peoples live in peace!

Amen
