The Justice Prayer

Come, 0 Holy Spirit!

Come, open us to the wonder, beauty, and dignity
of the diversity found in each culture,
in each face, and in each experience we have 
of the other among us.

Come, fill us with generosity
as we are challenged to let go and allow others 
to share with us the goods and beauty of earth.

Come, heal the divisions
that keep us from seeing the face of Christ 
in all men, women, and children.

Come, free us to stand with and for those
who must leave their own lands in order to find
work, security, and welcome in a new land,
one that has enough to share.

Come, bring us understanding, inspiration, wisdom, 
and the courage needed to embrace change 
and stay on the journey.

Come, 0 Holy Spirit, show us the way.
