Collect
Triune God, we thank you for modeling unity. We need your grace to exemplify this unity to receive the blessing that the Lord has ordained for us. May we take time to examine ourselves to put things in order, agree with one another and to live in peace. May the peace of God also transcend borders of race, gender and ethnicity so that people in the world will live amicably and in oneness. Transform us as a community to witness such unity to the world. This we ask in the power of the Triune God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
