Lord Jesus Christ, we ask your blessing upon us today: let us worship you in holiness and follow in your ways.
Let us pluck out the weeds of fear, mistrust, and scorn, and sow empathy and love in our hearts.
Let us remember your manifold mercies to us, O Holy One, lest we act in anger and hatred to any.
Let us raise our hands and open our hearts to each other in peace, and embrace each other in compassion.
Let us walk in pathways of brotherhood and equity, and tear down all that divides us.
Let your grace flow into us, O God, as cool summer rain blesses and satisfies a dry and thirsty ground.
Comfort those who mourn, O Lord, and succor those who thirst for peace and equality. Savior and Redeemer, take up your home within our hearts, and place the seal of your blessing upon these, your children.
Amen.
