2. Our Father who art in Heaven,
Let’s join in Prayer
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name in people across the world of different race, colour and religion.
Thy Kingdom come more and more in the hearts of those who work in your name.
Thy will be done on earth, in those who give to the hungry, the sick and the homeless.
Give us this day our daily bread, the bread of truth to this generation.
And forgive us our trespasses, our indifference, our failure to reach out to those in need, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, give us grace to resist the temptation to harshly judge others.
And deliver us from the evil of injustice, of war and violence, the evil of failing in affection, respect and support for those who live and work with us.
Amen
