Collect
God of all people and faiths, who called your people to remembrance by the stones of your faithfulness, who blesses all nations that they may know your saving power, and who in your Church have made one body from many, we thank you for giving your Church to be a beacon of unity and compassion in a divided world; help us to be peacemakers, building bridges instead of walls, sharing all we have as those who belong to one heart and soul, and trusting in your abundant provision to feed the hungry in body and spirit; teach us to listen and understand with humility, and guide our words and actions by your Spirit, that we may be faithful witnesses to your reconciling love in Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
