In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All
Things Charity
Scripture
I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also
who believe in Me through their word;
that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You,
that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
John 17:20,21

Deep in this fight to survive, always hurting
Alone in the dark with no light, always searching
Keep us lost in our devices
Blinded, broken, and deceived
Time has come to be the righteous
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united, and they don't want us to be
Come to this day where our lives can't be broken
Now here we are with our future wide open
Time has come for us to rise
From the depths of their disease
There's no hope if we divide
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united, and they don't want us to be
We are one and won't be shaken
It's our prophecy
and the light is on for the taking
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united, and they don't want us to be
They wanna keep you on the ground with a foot on your neck
Make you feel like you're defeated
Sentence Prayer
Lord, for the low importance we have given to those words
that came
from your Heart: “I have other sheep not from this fold. I
must also
bring them; they too shall hear my voice”:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
For our disagreements with our Christian brothers and
sisters,
sometimes full of irony, or narrowness of spirit, or
exaggeration; for our
intransigence and harsh judgments about other Christians and
Churches:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
For all acts of violence or unkindness against our fellow
Christians; for
all in the past and sustained to this day for which we are
to blame:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
For all attitudes of pride and self-sufficiency that our
Churches may
have shown across the ages to other Christians, and for all
our failures
of awareness or understanding towards each other:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
For the bad examples in our conduct, which have slowed down,
diminished or destroyed the effects of grace in the souls of
others:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
For forgetting to offer prayer, frequent, friendly, fervent,
on behalf of
our fellow Christians:
We ask you to forgive us, Lord.
Above the frontiers of language, race and nation, through
all our rich
difference and diversity:
Unite us, Jesus.
With Christians who are persecuted and in need, with our
migrant and
refugee brothers and sisters across the world and in our
midst:
Unite us, Jesus.
Above our ignorance, our prejudices, or any unconscious
hostility,
through better understanding and ever closer communion:
Unite us, Jesus.
Above our different spiritual and theological traditions, in
one spirit,
one Bread and one Body:
Unite us, Jesus.
O God, for the increase of your glory:
Gather your scattered people.
O God, for the triumph of good and of truth:
Gather your scattered people.
O God, that there may be but one fold and one Shepherd:
Gather your scattered people.
O God, that justice and peace may finally reign in the
world:
Gather your scattered people.
O God, to bring fullness of joy to the heart of your Son:
Gather your scattered people. Amen
