For the Human Family

O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us
through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole
human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which
infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us;
unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and
confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in
your good time, all nations and races may serve you in
harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer, page 815

For the Oppressed

Look with pity, O heavenly Father, upon the people in this
land who live with injustice, terror, disease, and death as
their constant companions. Have mercy upon us. Help us to
eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbors. Strengthen those
who spend their lives establishing equal protection of the law
and equal opportunities for all. And grant that every one of
us may enjoy a fair portion of the riches of this land; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
BCP p. 826

For Social Justice

Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so
move every human heart [and especially the hearts of the
people of this land], that barriers which divide us may
crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our
divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
BCP p. 823

For Social Justice

Almighty God, who hast created us in thine own image: 
Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make 
no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use 
our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of 
justice in our communities and among the nations, to the 
glory of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who 
liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, 
now and for ever. Amen.
