“Almighty God our heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world
into the way of justice and truth,
and establish among them
that peace which is the fruit of righteousness,
that they may become
the Kingdom of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Amen.
(from the 1990 Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church According to the use of The Episcopal Church)
“Grant, O God,
that your holy and life-giving Spirit
may so move every human heart
[and especially the hearts of the people of this land],
that barriers which divide us may crumble,
suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease;
that our divisions being healed,
we may live in justice and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.”
