You gather us together in Faith, O God, as a loving mother and a gentle father. Help us to remember that your dwelling place is built upon love and peace, and that to bring about your reign on earth we must follow your way of peace. We pray for all governments and legislatures that they may be mindful of the rights of all people of this world to live in peace and dignity. Grant this in the name of Jesus. Amen
