Lord

May we never take our freedom for granted

and help us to strive so that this same freedom

may be experienced by everyone in our country,

Rosemary's Blessing:

 

Grant us, Lord God,

 

a vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

 

a world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor; 

 

a world where the riches of creation are

shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

 

a world where different races and cultures

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

 

a world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

 

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Amen.
