Merciful God, on this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we pray for unity and peace as we say: 

God, hear our prayer.  

Strengthen citizens and organizations to engage in constructive dialogue and action for unity among all people. 

God, hear our prayer.  

Bolster credibility and trust in Homeland Security and national intelligence. 

God, hear our prayer.  

Help us to speak the truth with courage and offer consolation to those who mourn. 

God, hear our prayer.  

Our Father . . .  

May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding stand guard over our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
