God of all life, you call us to live in community and teach us to care for one another after the pattern of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. We pray for those whose position and authority affect the lives of others. Inspire them with a vision of the community as it might be, where love of neighbor and concern for one another drive out discontent and strife, anxiety and fear. Help us all to work together with one heart and will, with sympathy and understanding, to serve the common good, to minister to people in trouble and despair, and to multiply true happiness among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
