RESPONSIVE READING: A LITANY FOR RECONCILIATION
Leader—Across the barriers that divide race from race

Leader—Across the barriers that divide rich from poor
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide people of different cultures
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide Christians
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide men and women, young and old
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Confront us, O Christ, with the hidden prejudices and fears that deny and betray our prayers
Everyone—Enable us to see the causes of strife, remove from us all senses of superiority.
Leader—Teach us to grow in unity with all God’s children
Everyone—To the honor of your name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH—Isaiah 2:2-4
In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
