Precious Lord, master of reconciliation, reconcile us one to another. Deliver us from the hatred that divides and kills. Be especially with the bereaved of New Zealand.

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Precious Lord, you have entrusted us, your church, with the ministry of reconciliation. Show us the way of love: teach us patience, kindness, and compassion for one another.

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Precious Lord, our great nation, the United States, is also divided by hatred. Help us to stand for the highest good for all people, including those who seek safety at our borders.

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Precious Lord, like the father of the prodigal son, inspire us to embrace the lost and found among us, especially the homeless, the hungry, the jobless, and the addicted.

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Precious Lord, reconcile us to the beauty and fragility of your creation. When we damage the earth, we damage ourselves and disrespect you.

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Precious Lord, the faithful make their prayers to you in time of trouble. Be with those who suffer from sickness, sadness, injury and uncertainty. Be with those who suffer in mind and heart. Be with the bereaved. Be with those made homeless by extreme storms in Africa and America.. Be with the hungry in Yemen and Venezuela and all those who are victims of violence. Be with those family and friends we now name, silently and aloud (pause), including those on our parish prayer list:

Lord, make us a new creation in Christ.

Presider: Lord, you are the true bread that gives life to the world. We cannot live without your love. Amen.
