Lord, we thank You now for Your sacrifice of shedding Your Holy Blood for us and for giving all of us the gift of salvation. Please teach us to be filled with more compassion, more mercy, and more love for all people, like You continually do.

Help us to see more clearly what You see. Help us to stop holding grudges, stop judging, stop turning our backs on those we have ignored. Show us how to grow closer to those we know and don’t know.

Give us the humility we need to be able to stand together so that we all can live as one for You and in You. Let us together all say “Amen!”
