God of our Father Abraham
and our Mothers Sarah and Hagar;
God of our Brothers Isaac and Ishmael,
God of the Prophet Moses
And of the Prophet Muhammad,
God of Jesus:
You are
Father of Peace
Mother of Compassion
Prophet of Justice.
Move us
To listen to each other,
To understand, and to act;
To be peacemakers, not just peacekeepers;
To be forth-tellers of hope,
Not just foretellers of doom.
Help us
To become what we seem:
Your disciples of Peace,
Courageous in speaking Truth,
Always bringing forth Peace
In the arms of Justice
And Compassion.
Amen
