O God, we are one with you. You have made us one with you. You
have taught us that if we are open to one another, you dwell in us.
Help us to preserve this openness and to fight for it with all our
hearts. Help us to realize that there can be no understanding
where there is mutual rejection. O God, in accepting one another
wholeheartedly, fully, completely, we accept you, and we thank you,
and we adore you, and we love you with our whole being, because
our being is your being, our spirit is rooted in your spirit. Fill us
then with love, and let us be bound together with love as we go our
diverse ways, united in this one spirit which makes you present in
the world, and which makes you witness to the ultimate reality
that is love. Love has overcome. Love is victorious.
-Thomas Merton-
