All–knowing, all–seeing God, look upon us this day. Nothing is hidden from Your sight. All that we are is laid bare before You.
Peer into our innermost thoughts and redeem the unworthiness therein that attempts to define us. Search our souls and give comfort to the discontent that threatens to overwhelm us.
In Your mercy, see us as we are meant to be and give us the light of Your countenance to live into that hope.
Then, as we have been seen, may we see. As we gaze around us, help us to look upon the people You have placed in our paths with the same acceptance that You have shown us.
Give us Your sight, that we would not be the judge of unworthiness, but the agents of Your redemption. Give us eyes to see the discontented, that we would be instruments of Your comfort and gracious care, with a selfless gesture, a kind word, a helping hand.
Reveal all around us who seek to remain invisible or who have, by our indifference, remained hidden, that no one would have cause to believe that they remain outside Your grace and mercy.
In Your omniscient name we pray. Amen.
Liberty regards religion as its companion in all its battles and its triumphs, as the cradle of its infancy and the divine source of its claims. It considers religion as the safeguard of morality, and morality as the best security of law and the surest pledge of the duration of freedom.
—Alexis de Tocqueville
