a simple prayer

Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it:

• a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
  
• a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
  
• a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect;
  
• a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
  

Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
