For this night and the days and months to come, a prayer for our communities and our country:
God, our refuge and strength, you have bound us together in a common life. In all our conflicts, help us to engage one another without hatred or bitterness or violence, and to work together with mutual respect and a shared commitment to justice and peace. Where there is disagreement on how act on these commitments, help us do so from the starting point of Love, which you have first given us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
