Often my words are inadequate, but on occasion I can find the right words written by someone else. As violence seems to intensify, people seem to be more and more divided, and the usage of the word “war” becomes more acceptable, here is a collect from The Book of Common Prayer:
“Oh God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom….” (Page 100).
