Almighty and merciful Father, send the Holy Spirit down upon us and the leaders of all the Christian churches to open their minds and hearts to the truthful teachings of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Help them to renew and restore the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church which he founded when the Holy Spirit descended on His Apostles that first Pentecost.
By the Holy Spirit gather all who believe the Truth of Jesus Teachings to come together, working together to bring about unity of the Church founded by Christ and the Apostles. Help them to practice respect the dignity of all God’s children throughout the entire world.
Inspire world leaders to find the means of bringing about an end to the horrors of war, poverty, genocide and discrimination and all the other atrocities being committed in the name of God.
Through the Holy Spirit, inspire all people to be more mindful of the needs of others and become more generous toward the poor, aged, and sick.
Open the minds of all to become more tolerant of the differences and diversity created by Almighty God.
Instill deep in our hearts your truth and through the Holy Spirit guide us in our service to you.
We ask this in the name of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our redeemer and savior.
AMEN
