A Prayer for Unity

God of all, you challenge us
to be a unified national community.

You call us to move beyond
partisan politics
so we may create
a vision of the common good
so sorely needed for our country.

In this time of confusion,
you call us to see clearly
with the lens of justice for all.

In this time of disrespect for so many,
you call on us to practice respect
for all voices around the table,
and for all voices not heard in the discussions.

In this time of personal insecurity,

We give thanks for your light and love, Gracious God.
You have give us a precious mission
Which stirs our soul.
We are grateful for your Spirit
Moving through us,
Helping us to form the words
Of justice, peace, and love,
Helping us to proclaim your Good News.

Prayer for World Teachers Day , by: Dr. Anthony Cuschieri

Gracious God stay with us
with your enabling Spirit,
guiding us as we lead our students
towards your kingdom.
We accomplish in our lifetime
only a fraction of the magnificent work
of your creation.
We lay foundations
that will need further development.
We plant seeds that one day will grow;
we water seeds already planted,
knowing that they hold future promise;
we provide yeast that produces
effects far beyond our capabilities.
This is what we are about.
We cannot do everything
