Loving God

You have given all peoples one common origin,

and your will is to gather them as one family in yourself.

Fill the hearts of all with the fire of your love

and the desire to ensure justice for all our sisters and brothers.

By sharing the good things you give us

may we secure justice and equality for every human being,

an end to all division,

and a human society built on love and peace.

Pope John Paul II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, 1987

May the God of harmony and peace

bless and unite us, and bring us all together

into the joys of a new creation.

Amen.
