Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
One God, in perfect Community,
look now on us,
and hear our prayer for our community:
where there is falseness,
smother it by your truth;
where there is coldness,
kindle the flame of your love;
where there is joy and hope,
free us to share it together;
where there is anything
we will not do for ourselves,
make us discontent until it is done.
And make us one,
as you are one.
Iona Community, Scotland

Ephesians 4:1-3
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
