Prayer, day 1686

Three friends and their teacher at a school for the hearing impaired in Cuba.

O Creator God,
we thank you for this beautiful Earth
You have made as our abode.
We thank you for the family of humanity
in all the places we call home.
Help us to know and celebrate
the common bonds that unite us
regardless of race, creed, wealth, or nationality.
We thank you for those who care for the lost,
who comfort the sick,
who welcome the stranger.
Help us cherish each other
and learn from each other,
tied together in mutuality
as Your beloved children.
Strengthen those who sorrow or who hurt or who fear, 
especially these we now name.

Amen.
