Unity Prayer

From Good Shepherd New York

All are welcome at the table of God
Every human is God's child
For Christ brings peace to all
Tearing down every hostile wall
So that the many become one

One heart
One family
One new humanity

For God who is Love
And Christ who is all and in all
Show no partiality and make no distinction
So neither race nor class
Gender nor sexuality
Politics nor religion
Personality nor nationality

Count for us or against us
The light of Christ enlightens all
Christ the prisoner and the naked
Christ the hungry and the sick
Christ the thirsty and the stranger
Christ the Other

May God's Spirit hover over our chaos
Our hatred and indifference
Descend in our hearts with love and pleasure
Blow us out into the world to listen and serve
And set us ablaze to forgive and reconcile

For all are welcome at the table of God
Every human is God's child.
