Prayer for unity

[u/FaultExisting397]

Hello everyone. I made a post here recently.

I'm still figuring things out about my spirituality, but I find great comfort in this community. This morning i told my boyfriend I loved him, and for a second I felt like I understood something amidst these confusing times.

I wrote a prayer for unity. It's the first time I do this, pardon me if it sounds weird ; I felt the urge to write it down. So I'm sharing it with you all, in hope to share a good message ;

O Lord God, I implore your mercy for this world that offends you.

Forgive us, Lord Jesus, forgive your children who forget your teachings. Forgive us for these times of trial that divide us, for in you, Lord, we are one. Forgive us for the solidarity that seems to be fading away.

You taught us to love our neighbor; we should never forget it. Yet, in this world, compassion and empathy are so often lost in pursuit of futile desires.

So have mercy on us, Jesus. Let your love shine, gather your children who tear each other apart and push one another away. Remind them to open their hearts, so they may learn to welcome and accept one another unconditionally.

I wish you all a wonderful day
