Prayer 1677: for reconciliation


Most Merciful Savior,
may our prayers be acceptable and pleasing to You,
grounded in praise and gratitude.

Empty our hearts of all that divides us, O Lord,
that we be filled instead with a spirit of unity and hope.
Awaken the better angels of our natures, O Creator,
that we seek not to exploit others,
but serve each other.
May we seek and see the face of Christ in every person
and the thumbprint of God in all of creation.

Lead us into wisdom grounded in compassion,
that we may testify through our lives
to your goodness, O God.
By your love, we rest in You, God,
and ask your blessing and healing
over all the cares we now lay before You.

Amen.
