Reverend Cara Spaccarelli

Christ Church

Date of Prayer: 05/02/2014

Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

God of all nations, You have called all people to lives of righteousness and justice.

Bless now those who gather in this place. To those who lead here, grant the patience of cooperation. To those who debate here, grant clarity of thought. To those who decide here, grant the courage for truth.

Keep ever before us the broken places of our life together, that we may find ways to speak hope into one another's lives. Set our hearts to beat in rhythm with Yours, and knit us together with all people of good will, both in this place and beyond, in order that Your will may be done.

Amen.
