Grant us, O God, a vision of this nation as your love would have it:
a nation where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
a nation where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
a nation where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect;
a nation where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
Grant us, O God, a vision.
Give us the inspiration and courage, wisdom and faith to live into that vision,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
