O Holy Spirit guide us each and everyday as we respond to the world around us. May we look to follow the message of love and redemption to which we are called to share with friend and stranger alike. May we look for opportunities to serve those who are in need with more than prayers, give us the strength to move beyond our fears when we interact with those whose we are different than us by all the many ways in which we divide ourselves and celebrate the many gifts and talents our diversity afford us. May this day be filled with your blessings. Amen
