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 struggles 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. Amen.
