God,
We need to see, what you see,
in order to hear, what you hear.
For,
it is with you,
we can be good.
God,
Still our being and calm our hearts,
as we accommodate the common good.
For,
it is with you,
we can do good.
God,
Give us the grace to embrace the stranger,
cooperating with all for the greater good.
For,
it is with you,
we are a power for good.
Make it so
