Help us to find ways to make others know we love them, O God. May we seek to change the narrative of suspicion and anxiety toward others to one that welcomes and embraces the stranger in our midst. Help us to be grateful for all that we have and generous in what we share with others. Give us an awareness of the needs of those around us and the ability to respond to those needs. May you guide us to be who we are meant to be now and every day. Amen
