Lord, hear our prayer:

Wonderful God! Holy and Just Father! We thank you for our life together in Christ. It is in him and through him that we have been made one. We thank you that though we are all very different people, that though we come from different places and have different hopes and fears, different thoughts and expectations, yet we are one in Christ. Thank you for the hope, the joy, the peace and the love with which you have flooded our lives; for the new sense of meaning, purpose and direction with which you have touched our lives; for the new awareness of your presence in every moment of our lives. May you receive all glory and honor in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
