Gracious God, creator and redeemer of all, we thank you for calling us to be the sojourners in this world. Create in us a heart that accepts people of all faith as sisters and brothers and strive together to discern your light and truth. Nurture in all people a thirst for justice and peace in our world so that we may work together in faith and love and discover you in our midst, through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God, now and for ever more. Amen
