Opening Prayer
God of all people and places,
who leads us in paths of faith,
and draws us toward one another:
Open our hearts to see the stranger,
to grow past difference to understanding.
Reveal to us our shared humanity,
bound together in your good creation.
Show us the similarity of our joys and burdens,
so we might share the weight of them together.
Guide us in love, we pray.
Amen.
