O God, you made us in your own image
and redeemed us
through Jesus your Son:
Look with compassion on the whole
human family;
take away the arrogance and hatred
which
infect our hearts;
break down the walls that separate us;
unite us in bonds of love;
and work through our struggle and
confusion
to accomplish your purposes on earth;
that, in
your good time,
all nations and races may serve you
in
harmony around your heavenly throne;
through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
