Everloving God,
you have called us
in the body of your Son Jesus Christ
to continue his work of reconciliation
and reveal you to all the world;
forgive us the sins which tear us apart;
give us courage to overcome our fears
and to seek that unity
which is your gift and your will;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Lord Christ,
you command us to love one another;
make your people one together;
give us acceptance, give us trust,
anoint us with the precious oil of your Spirit.
