Creating God, your awesome deeds fill the world. We humbly pray: Let us behold your works, O God.

Open our eyes to the beauty of the natural world, and help us collaborate with each other in care for the earth.

Free us from the fear of difference, and help us to rejoice in the rich diversity of gifts and cultures among humankind.

Uphold efforts to establish just and equal health care for people of every race, age, and gender.

Our Father . . .

May God expand our hearts in love and lead us to embrace one another in the peace of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
