Justice and only justice you shall pursue.
(Deuteronomy 16:18-20)

Every year Christians across the world gather in prayer for growth in unity. We do this in a world where corruption, greed and injustice bring about inequality and division. Ours is a united prayer in a fractured world: this is powerful. However, as individual Christians and communities, we are often complicit with injustice, and yet we are called together to form a united witness for justice and to be a means of Christ’s healing grace for the brokenness of the world.

Prayer

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God,
we give praise to you for your great glory made manifest in all of creation.
Give us an open heart to embrace all who experience discrimination. 
Help us to grow in love beyond prejudice and injustice. 
Grant us the grace to respect the uniqueness of each person, 
so that in our diversity we may experience unity. 
This prayer we make in your holy name. Amen.
