Thirty-Second Day of Easter
O God,
Raise us up so we can see past our people.
We tend to be with and to talk with
people who see things like we do.
We sit around confirming each
other’s perspectives and opinions.
Help us reach out beyond our circle
of relationships. Help us expand our
circle of friends. Help others do the
same and include us when they do.
Let us see perspectives and understand
opinions that differ from ours. Let us
appreciate and embrace people whose
background and experiences have formed
them to see things differently than we do.
Let others appreciate and embrace us.
Raise us up so we can see past our people.
Expand the parameters of
what constitutes “our people.”
Amen.
