A Prayer for Christian Unity

Eternal God, Your Son asked for water and the woman asked for the living water in return (John 4:7-15). You provide for us and we now ask You for the things we most need.

God of eternal compassion, as individuals and as community, we ask for light, so we may become more welcoming and understanding towards others and reduce suffering in our world.

God of love! Hear our prayer!

God of eternal compassion, teach Your children that charity, hospitality, and unity are expressions of Your revelation and Will for humanity.

God of love! Hear our prayer!

God of eternal compassion, we beseech You for Your peace; teach us and guide us to be builders of a tolerant and non-violent world.

God of love! Hear our prayer!

God of eternal compassion, Who spoke to us through creation, then through the prophets, and at last through Your Son Jesus Christ, grant us Your wisdom to listen to Your voice that resounds through our diversity and calls us to unity.

God of love! Hear our prayer!

God of eternal compassion, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Who as a stranger asked for a drink from a Samaritan woman, give us living water, which will become a source of unity in us, springing up into eternal life through Your Holy Spirit.

God of love! Hear our prayer!
